Prudential ( (GB:PRU) ) has provided an announcement.
Prudential plc has repurchased 460,449 of its ordinary shares from JP Morgan Securities on 3 March 2026 as part of an ongoing buyback programme authorised at its 2025 AGM. The shares, bought at an average price of £10.7145 and to be cancelled, reduce the number of shares and voting rights in issue to 2,534,344,684, potentially enhancing earnings per share and optimising the company’s capital structure.
The buyback was executed as an on-exchange transaction on the London Stock Exchange and treated as an on-market purchase under Hong Kong’s share buy-back rules. By continuing to return capital through share repurchases across its dual-listed structure, Prudential signals confidence in its financial position and may improve capital efficiency for shareholders in its key Asian and African growth markets.
