Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) just unveiled an update.
Vodafone Group has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 2,000,000 ordinary shares on 11 March 2026 via Goldman Sachs International at a volume-weighted average price of 107.14 pence. The shares, acquired under a previously announced repurchase programme, will be held in treasury, lifting Vodafone’s treasury holding to 1,759,669,902 shares and leaving 23,118,290,855 shares in issue excluding treasury stock.
The transaction, executed on the London Stock Exchange, reflects Vodafone’s ongoing use of buybacks as a capital management tool that can support earnings per share and provide flexibility in its balance sheet structure. By reducing the free float through treasury holdings, the group may influence future capital allocation options and signal confidence in its equity valuation to investors.
