An update from Standard Chartered ( (GB:STAN) ) is now available.
Standard Chartered PLC has continued executing its previously announced share buy-back programme, repurchasing 544,241 ordinary shares on 2 January 2026 from Goldman Sachs International at prices between 1,827.00 pence and 1,855.00 pence, with a volume-weighted average price of 1,847.37 pence. The bank has so far deployed about US$1.07 billion into the buy-back and intends to cancel the newly acquired shares, which will reduce the number of shares in issue to 2,262,459,093 and set the total voting rights at the same level, a move that effectively returns capital to shareholders and marginally enhances earnings per share and ownership stakes for remaining investors.
