An announcement from Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) is now available.
Vodafone has continued its share buyback activity, purchasing 2,000,000 ordinary shares on 9 March 2026 from Goldman Sachs International at a volume‑weighted average price of 106.25 pence. The shares will be held in treasury, bringing Vodafone’s treasury stock to about 1.76 billion shares and leaving roughly 23.12 billion ordinary shares in issue, a move that fine‑tunes its capital structure and may support earnings per share.
The transaction forms part of a previously announced repurchase programme under which Goldman Sachs buys Vodafone shares in the market and then sells them on to the company. By using a riskless principal arrangement and executing trades on the London Stock Exchange, Vodafone signals ongoing commitment to returning capital and managing its large free float in a transparent, market‑based manner.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VOD) stock is a Buy with a £120.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vodafone stock, see the GB:VOD Stock Forecast page.
