Barratt Redrow ( (GB:BTRW) ) has issued an update.

Barratt Redrow has continued to execute its £50 million share repurchase programme, buying 140,000 ordinary shares for cancellation on 23 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of 377.7183 pence. The company has now acquired a total of 5,010,000 shares under the scheme, reducing its share count to 1,421,616,582 in issue and confirming that it holds no shares in treasury, which marginally enhances earnings per share and consolidates existing investors’ voting power.

The latest buyback tranche, executed via UBS on the London Stock Exchange as on-exchange transactions, underscores Barratt Redrow’s ongoing capital return strategy amid its current trading conditions. By shrinking the equity base while maintaining operations, the group signals confidence in its financial position and balance sheet strength, a move likely to be welcomed by shareholders seeking improved capital efficiency.
