Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) has provided an update.
Vodafone has repurchased 13,000,307 of its ordinary shares on 11 February 2026 under its ongoing buyback programme, at a volume-weighted average price of 113.27 pence per share. The shares, acquired via Goldman Sachs International across multiple trading venues, will be held in treasury, taking Vodafone’s treasury holding to 1,582,510,278 shares and leaving 23,295,450,479 shares in issue, a move that can enhance earnings per share and signal confidence in the company’s valuation.
The transaction illustrates Vodafone’s continued use of capital-return measures as part of its broader financial strategy, potentially supporting its share price and offering incremental value to remaining shareholders. By reducing the free float while maintaining operational scale, the company reinforces its market positioning in the telecoms sector and may influence investor perception of its long-term capital discipline.
