Kingfisher ( (GB:KGF) ) has provided an announcement.
Kingfisher plc has continued executing its previously announced £300 million share repurchase programme, buying 25,000 ordinary shares for cancellation on 19 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of £3.6060 per share. This latest buyback, conducted via Goldman Sachs International on the London Stock Exchange, forms part of the fifth tranche of the programme.
To date, Kingfisher has cancelled 18,938,200 shares in the fifth tranche alone, in addition to tens of millions of shares repurchased and cancelled across the prior four tranches executed through several major investment banks. The sustained pace of buybacks underscores management’s ongoing capital return strategy, which reduces the company’s share count and can enhance earnings per share while signalling confidence in the business to investors.

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:KGF is a Outperform.
Kingfisher’s overall stock score is driven by strong technical momentum and positive corporate actions like share buybacks.
