The latest update is out from Helios Towers ( (GB:HTWS) ).
Helios Towers has executed another tranche of its ongoing share buyback programme, repurchasing 67,767 ordinary shares on 26 February 2026 through Merrill Lynch International at a volume-weighted average price of about 199.1 pence. The company plans to cancel these shares, which will reduce its total shares in issue to 1,040,181,961, affecting the denominator used by investors for calculating ownership stakes under disclosure rules.
The latest repurchases, which span multiple trading venues including the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X, BATE and Turquoise, form part of a buyback initiative first announced in November 2025. By continuing to retire shares rather than hold them in treasury, Helios Towers is signalling an ongoing commitment to capital returns and a tighter share count, which may support earnings per share and potentially influence valuation perceptions among shareholders and the broader market.
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.
