An announcement from Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) is now available.
Vodafone Group Plc has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 1,999,550 ordinary shares on 26 March 2026 through Goldman Sachs International at a volume-weighted average price of 110.88 pence. The shares will be held in treasury, bringing the company’s treasury holding to 1,231,655,127 shares and reducing the free float to 23,096,723,462 shares in issue, underlining Vodafone’s ongoing capital return strategy and potential support for its share price.
The transaction, executed on the London Stock Exchange under a previously announced repurchase programme, reflects Vodafone’s active management of its capital structure and balance sheet. By concentrating ownership and shrinking the effective share base, the buyback may enhance per-share metrics over time and signals continued commitment to shareholder returns amid a competitive telecommunications market.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VOD) stock is a Buy with a £123.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vodafone stock, see the GB:VOD Stock Forecast page.
