Helios Towers ( (GB:HTWS) ) has provided an announcement.
Helios Towers plc has continued its share buyback programme with the purchase on 10 February 2026 of 108,886 ordinary shares via Merrill Lynch International, at prices ranging between 181.2p and 186.4p and a volume-weighted average price of 184.0904p. The company intends to cancel all of the repurchased shares, which will reduce the total shares in issue to 1,041,143,579 and marginally enhance earnings per share while signalling ongoing capital management discipline to investors.
The latest tranche of repurchases, executed across venues including the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X, BATE, and Turquoise, forms part of the wider buyback launched in November 2025. By shrinking its share capital rather than holding the stock in treasury, Helios Towers reinforces a long-term commitment to returning surplus capital to shareholders and potentially supports the share price, while providing a new reference denominator for investors subject to disclosure and transparency rules.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HTWS) stock is a Hold with a £193.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Helios Towers stock, see the GB:HTWS Stock Forecast page.
