Kingfisher ( (GB:KGF) ) has provided an announcement.
Kingfisher plc has continued executing its £300 million share repurchase programme, buying 25,000 ordinary shares for cancellation on 2 March 2026 at a volume-weighted average price of £3.6239. The transaction was carried out as an on-exchange deal with Goldman Sachs International on the London Stock Exchange.
Including this latest purchase, Kingfisher has now cancelled more than 95 million shares across five tranches of the buyback programme executed through several major investment banks. The sustained pace of repurchases reduces the company’s share count and may enhance earnings per share, underlining management’s ongoing focus on shareholder returns in a challenging retail environment.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:KGF) stock is a Hold with a £393.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Kingfisher stock, see the GB:KGF Stock Forecast page.
