Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) has shared an announcement.
Vodafone Group has continued its share buyback programme by purchasing 10 million ordinary shares on 3 March 2026 through Goldman Sachs International, at a volume‑weighted average price of 110.02 pence. The transaction forms part of a previously announced programme initiated in early February and is executed with GSI acting as riskless principal on the London Stock Exchange.
The newly acquired shares will be held in treasury, bringing Vodafone’s treasury holdings to about 1.75 billion shares and leaving roughly 23.13 billion shares in issue excluding treasury stock. Increasing treasury shares through buybacks can enhance capital return flexibility and may support earnings per share over time, signalling ongoing balance‑sheet management and capital allocation efforts to shareholders.
