Swedbank ( ($SE:SWED.A) ) has shared an announcement.

Swedbank’s board has resolved to initiate a share buyback of up to 2 million shares, totalling no more than SEK 1.1 billion, to secure the delivery of shares under its 2025 performance- and share-based remuneration programmes for employees. The repurchases, which will be conducted in cash on Nasdaq Stockholm by an independent investment firm and are constrained so that the bank’s total holding of own shares does not exceed 10 percent of its share capital, underscore Swedbank’s ongoing reliance on equity-based compensation while maintaining regulatory compliance under EU market abuse and safe harbour rules; buybacks will start after the publication of the year-end report and may continue until the 2026 AGM, with the bank currently holding 7.78 million of its 1.13 billion issued shares as treasury stock.

The most recent analyst rating on ($SE:SWED.A) stock is a Hold with a SEK347.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Swedbank stock, see the SE:SWED.A Stock Forecast page.
