Helios Towers ( (GB:HTWS) ) has provided an update.
Helios Towers has continued its share buyback programme with the repurchase of 33,975 ordinary shares on 27 February 2026, executed through Merrill Lynch International at a volume-weighted average price of about 199.8 pence per share. All repurchased shares will be cancelled rather than held in treasury, reducing the company’s share count and potentially enhancing earnings per share and capital returns for existing investors.
Following settlement and cancellation of these shares, Helios Towers’ total shares in issue will fall to 1,040,147,986, a new reference figure for shareholders subject to disclosure obligations under UK transparency rules. The incremental buyback activity underscores the company’s ongoing capital management strategy and may signal confidence in its valuation, while modestly increasing the ownership percentage of remaining shareholders.
