An update from Sampo Plc ( (GB:0HAG) ) is now available.

Sampo Oyj continued its recently launched share buyback programme in week 20 of 2026, repurchasing a total of 1,730,961 A shares across several European trading venues at a weighted average price of about EUR 8.92. The transactions, carried out under a EUR 350 million authorisation granted by the April 2026 AGM and executed by Morgan Stanley, increase Sampo’s treasury holdings to 2,635,415 A shares, equal to around 0.1% of its total share capital, signalling active capital management and potential support for the stock’s valuation.

By steadily accumulating its own shares under the authorised programme, Sampo is returning capital to shareholders while potentially improving earnings per share over time, which may enhance its appeal among income-focused and long-term investors. The multi-venue execution on Nasdaq Helsinki, Stockholm, Copenhagen and other platforms also underscores the liquidity and cross-border investor base of Sampo’s stock in the Nordic and European markets.
