The latest update is out from Orica Limited ( (AU:ORI) ).
Orica Limited has reduced its issued capital through the cancellation of 1,344,290 ordinary fully paid shares following completion of an on-market share buy-back. The move, effective from 13 March 2026, marginally tightens the company’s capital base and may enhance earnings per share and capital management flexibility for existing investors as Orica continues to optimise its balance sheet.
The notification to the ASX formalises the cessation of these securities under the exchange’s Appendix 3H requirements, confirming updated details of Orica’s listed equity. While the scale of the buy-back is modest relative to the company’s overall market capitalisation, it underscores ongoing capital management discipline and signals continued focus on shareholder returns in a cyclical resources-related industry.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ORI) stock is a Buy with a A$21.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Orica Limited stock, see the AU:ORI Stock Forecast page.
