Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

The latest update is out from Helios Towers ( (GB:HTWS) ).

Helios Towers has repurchased 92,629 of its ordinary shares on 24 February 2026 under its ongoing share buyback programme, paying a volume-weighted average price of 199.6497 pence per share. The company plans to cancel these shares, reducing the total number of ordinary shares in issue to 1,040,325,599, a move that marginally enhances remaining shareholders’ proportional ownership and may signal confidence in the company’s valuation.

The purchases, executed through Merrill Lynch International across multiple trading venues including the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X, BATE, and Turquoise, form part of the buyback initiative announced in November 2025. The updated share count also provides a new reference denominator for investors and other stakeholders when calculating disclosure thresholds under regulatory transparency rules.
