Lottomatica Lifts Treasury Stake Above 6.6% With New Buyback Tranche

An update from Lottomatica Group S.P.A. ( (IT:LTMC) ) is now available.

Lottomatica Group S.p.A. has continued its authorized share buyback program, repurchasing 90,000 ordinary shares between May 7 and 8, 2026, at an average price of €27.5959 for a total consideration of about €2.48 million. The trades, executed independently by Goldman Sachs International on the MTAA, bring Lottomatica’s treasury-share holdings to 16,633,339 shares, equivalent to 6.61% of its outstanding common stock, underscoring an ongoing capital-management strategy that may support earnings per share and signal confidence in the company’s valuation.

Since this phase marks the launch period of the latest buyback program approved at the April 2026 shareholders’ meeting, the incremental purchases build on an already sizable treasury position accumulated in prior operations. The increased stake in its own equity enhances the company’s flexibility for future corporate actions, such as potential use of treasury shares for financing, incentive plans or strategic transactions, and may influence the stock’s liquidity profile in the Italian market.

The most recent analyst rating on (IT:LTMC) stock is a Buy with a EUR33.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Lottomatica Group S.P.A. stock, see the IT:LTMC Stock Forecast page.
