Telenor ( (GB:0G8C) ) has provided an update.

Telenor ASA has mandated DNB Carnegie to execute a buyback of up to 1,876,000 shares in 2026, earmarked for its long-term incentive plan, employee share purchase plan, and restricted share-based executive compensation. The programme will be conducted in three tranches between May and November 2026, with a total planned value of NOK 93.8 million, under an AGM authorisation allowing repurchases within a NOK 50 to NOK 250 price range.

The buyback structure includes currency and participation-based adjustments for employees outside Norway, with predefined criteria that limit Telenor’s influence over the final investment amounts. The move underscores the company’s continued reliance on equity-based incentives to align employees and executives with shareholder interests, while making formal use of an existing repurchase mandate as part of its capital and remuneration strategy.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:0G8C) stock is a Hold with a NOK160.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Telenor stock, see the GB:0G8C Stock Forecast page.
