Standard Chartered ( (GB:STAN) ) has shared an announcement.

Standard Chartered PLC has continued its ongoing share buy-back programme, purchasing 294,230 ordinary shares on 31 December 2025 from Goldman Sachs International at a volume-weighted average price of 1,825.23 pence per share across the London Stock Exchange and CBOE venues. The bank plans to cancel these shares, leaving 2,263,003,334 ordinary shares in issue and an equivalent number of voting rights, after having deployed over US$1.06 billion to repurchase stock under the programme, a move that tightens its share capital base and may enhance earnings per share and capital returns for existing shareholders.
