The repurchased shares will be held in treasury, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to 489,289,545 and leaving the total voting rights at the same level, as treasury shares carry no votes.

Spark’s Take on BBY Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, BBY is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by very strong recent cash generation and steady revenue growth, supported by positive earnings-call indicators (record order book/pipeline and increased shareholder returns). Offsetting factors are structurally thin/compressing margins, higher leverage versus 2022, and mixed technical momentum (negative MACD) alongside execution risks highlighted in U.S. Civils and Infrastructure Investments.
