An update from Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) is now available.
Vodafone Group Plc has continued its share buyback programme by repurchasing 22,306,532 ordinary shares on 10 February 2026 from Goldman Sachs International at a volume-weighted average price of 113.18 pence. The company intends to hold these shares in treasury, bringing its treasury stock to 1,569,547,229 shares and leaving 23,308,413,528 shares in issue excluding treasury.
The transactions, executed across several European trading venues, form part of a previously announced programme under which Goldman Sachs acts as riskless principal, purchasing Vodafone shares in the market and selling them on to the company. The move incrementally increases Vodafone’s treasury holdings, which can support capital management flexibility and may influence earnings per share over time by reducing the free float.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VOD) stock is a Buy with a £126.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vodafone stock, see the GB:VOD Stock Forecast page.
