Kingfisher Advances £300m Buyback With Further Share Cancellation

Kingfisher ( (GB:KGF) ) just unveiled an update.

Kingfisher has continued its £300 million share repurchase programme with the purchase and cancellation of 1.6 million ordinary shares on 11 February 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of £3.5351. The transaction, executed via Goldman Sachs International across multiple European trading venues, forms part of the fifth tranche of buybacks and follows substantial prior repurchases in earlier tranches.

Cumulatively, the company has now cancelled more than 90 million shares under the programme, signalling an ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders and supporting earnings per share. The sustained pace of buybacks underlines management’s confidence in the group’s financial position and may incrementally tighten the stock’s free float, a development closely watched by equity investors in the European retail sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:KGF) stock is a Hold with a £381.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kingfisher stock, see the GB:KGF Stock Forecast page.

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.
