Prudential ( (GB:PRU) ) has shared an announcement.
Prudential plc has repurchased 291,757 of its ordinary shares on 10 March 2026 from JP Morgan Securities in on-exchange transactions on the London Stock Exchange, paying an average price of £11.0303 per share. The shares will be cancelled, reducing the number of shares in issue and voting rights to 2,532,583,997, a move that may marginally enhance earnings per share and adjust shareholder ownership percentages under disclosure rules.
The buyback forms part of an existing shareholder-authorised programme with JP Morgan, executed in line with UK Listing Rules and the Hong Kong Code on Share Buy-Backs.
