Essity AB ( ($SE:ESSITY.B) ) has shared an announcement.
Essity has continued to execute on its SEK 3bn share buyback program, repurchasing 63,292 Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm during week eight of 2026 for a total consideration of about SEK 18m. The purchases, carried out by BofA Securities Europe on Essity’s behalf, were financed from operating cash flow after dividends and form part of the company’s ambition to make buybacks a recurring element of its capital allocation strategy.
Since the start of the program in April 2025, Essity has bought back more than 10.4 million Class B shares for roughly SEK 2.7bn, increasing its treasury stock to 11.2 million Class B shares as of February 20, 2026. With a total share count of just over 693 million, the ongoing buybacks are expected to support capital efficiency and may enhance value for existing shareholders by gradually reducing the float of Essity’s Class B shares.
The most recent analyst rating on ($SE:ESSITY.B) stock is a Buy with a SEK314.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Essity AB stock, see the SE:ESSITY.B Stock Forecast page.
