The latest announcement is out from Prudential ( (GB:PRU) ).

Prudential plc has repurchased 299,227 of its ordinary shares of 5 pence each from JP Morgan Securities plc as part of its previously announced share buyback arrangement, using authority granted at its 2025 AGM. The shares, bought on the London Stock Exchange at an average price of £12.0204 and within a range of £11.94 to £12.085, will be cancelled, reducing the company’s shares in issue and total voting rights to 2,542,168,907.
