Paragon Banking Group PLC ( (GB:PAG) ) has issued an announcement.
Paragon Banking Group PLC has continued to execute its previously announced share buyback programme of up to £50 million, repurchasing 70,000 ordinary £1 shares on 25 February 2026 through Jefferies International at a volume-weighted average price of 858.3284 pence. Following this latest tranche, the bank holds 6,961,625 shares in treasury and has 190,443,335 ordinary shares in issue, which now represent the total voting rights for shareholders under UK disclosure and transparency rules.
The latest repurchases were executed across multiple trading venues, including the London Stock Exchange, CHI-X, BATE, Aquis and Turquoise, with prices ranging between 852.50 pence and 863.00 pence per share. By reducing the free float and consolidating its capital base, the ongoing buyback programme is likely to enhance earnings per share and may signal management’s confidence in the bank’s valuation and long-term prospects to investors.

Overall score reflects attractive valuation (low P/E and high dividend yield) and supportive technical positioning above major moving averages. These positives are tempered by financial risks from rising leverage and notable volatility in revenue and cash flow, which reduce confidence in the stability of recent performance.
