Smiths Group has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing a total of 149,000 ordinary shares on 13 February 2026 across several trading venues at volume-weighted average prices around 2,620 pence per share.

The move aligns with a strategy to optimise the balance sheet while maintaining focus on attractive growth segments in energy, industrials and construction.
