Macquarie Group Limited ( (AU:MQG) ) has issued an update.
Macquarie Group Limited has concluded its on-market share buyback program involving its ordinary fully paid shares, after purchasing a total of 5,338,339 shares for approximately AUD 1.01 billion. The board resolved to end the extended buyback, noting that no shares had been purchased since the board-approved extension announced in November 2025 and that there is currently no expectation of further share purchases under this program.
The decision to close the buyback signals a pause in capital returns via on-market share repurchases, which may indicate a shift in capital allocation priorities or changing market conditions. Investors and other stakeholders will interpret the end of the program in the context of Macquarie’s broader balance sheet management, funding needs and strategic investment opportunities, given the significant capital previously deployed through the buyback.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:MQG) stock is a Buy with a A$247.40 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Macquarie Group Limited stock, see the AU:MQG Stock Forecast page.
