Bank Of Ireland Group plc ( (DE:BIRG) ) has shared an update.
Bank of Ireland Group has continued executing its share buyback strategy, repurchasing 336,206 ordinary shares on Euronext Dublin between 30 March and 2 April 2026 through broker J&E Davy, at volume‑weighted average prices ranging from €15.2250 to €15.6587. The repurchased shares will be cancelled, contributing to the bank’s previously announced €530 million buyback programme, which is expected to reduce the share count and enhance capital returns to shareholders while signaling confidence in the group’s financial position.
This latest tranche of buybacks underscores the bank’s active capital management and aligns with broader European banking sector trends of returning excess capital to investors amid robust balance sheets and regulatory clarity on distributions. For existing shareholders, the cancellations should be incrementally accretive to earnings per share and may support valuation, while reinforcing Bank of Ireland’s commitment to disciplined capital allocation in its home market.
