An announcement from Standard Chartered ( (GB:STAN) ) is now available.
Standard Chartered PLC has continued executing its previously announced share buy-back programme by repurchasing 535,961 ordinary shares on 18 December 2025 from Goldman Sachs International across the London Stock Exchange and CBOE venues, at a volume-weighted average price of 1,764.41 pence per share. The bank has so far deployed approximately US$983.7 million into the buy-back and intends to cancel the newly repurchased shares, reducing the number of ordinary shares in issue to 2,266,170,696 and thereby consolidating earnings per share and potentially enhancing value for existing shareholders through a smaller equity base and unchanged voting rights structure.
