An update from Helios Towers ( (GB:HTWS) ) is now available.
Helios Towers has continued its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 78,723 ordinary shares on 18 February 2026 through Merrill Lynch International at prices between 198.0p and 200.0p, with a volume-weighted average price of 199.3810p. The company plans to cancel these shares rather than hold them in treasury, reducing the total shares in issue to 1,040,703,285 and marginally increasing existing shareholders’ proportional ownership under the ongoing capital management plan.
The latest tranche of buybacks was executed across multiple trading venues, including the London Stock Exchange, Chi-X, BATE, and Turquoise, at closely clustered prices around 199p per share. This incremental reduction in share count supports Helios Towers’ efforts to optimize its capital structure and may signal management’s confidence in the company’s valuation, while providing updated share capital information 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.
