Helios Towers ( (GB:HTWS) ) has issued an update.
Helios Towers has repurchased 300,628 ordinary shares between 11 and 15 May 2026 as part of its ongoing share buyback programme, executed via Merrill Lynch International across multiple trading venues. The company plans to cancel all the repurchased shares, reducing its share count to 1,044,447,412, a new reference figure for investors monitoring disclosure thresholds.
The transactions, carried out on the London Stock Exchange and alternative venues such as Chi-X, BATE and Turquoise, were executed at volume-weighted average prices around 240 pence per share. By shrinking its outstanding share base rather than holding treasury stock, Helios Towers is signalling capital discipline and potentially enhancing earnings per share, a move likely to be closely watched by shareholders and market participants.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HTWS) stock is a Buy with a £295.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Helios Towers stock, see the GB:HTWS Stock Forecast page.
