Helios Towers ( (GB:HTWS) ) has issued an announcement.
Helios Towers has repurchased 96,332 of its ordinary shares on 23 February 2026 as part of its ongoing share buyback programme, paying a volume-weighted average price of 198.3417 pence per share. The shares, acquired via Merrill Lynch International across multiple trading venues, will be cancelled rather than held in treasury, modestly reducing the company’s share count and potentially enhancing earnings per share and capital return metrics for existing investors.
Following settlement and cancellation of these shares, Helios Towers’ total shares in issue will fall to 1,040,418,228, a new reference point for investors and institutions monitoring disclosure thresholds under transparency rules. The transaction underscores management’s continued execution of the buyback initiative announced in November 2025, signaling confidence in the company’s valuation and providing incremental support to the share price in the capital markets.
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.
