Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) has provided an update.
Vodafone has repurchased 23,389,609 of its ordinary shares on 9 February 2026 under its previously announced buyback programme, at prices between 111.45p and 113.50p and a volume-weighted average price of 112.70p. The shares, acquired via Goldman Sachs International across multiple trading venues, will be held in treasury, bringing Vodafone’s treasury holdings to 1,547,268,125 shares and reducing the free float to 23,330,692,632 shares, a move that can support earnings per share and signal confidence in the company’s valuation.
Goldman Sachs International executed the trades as riskless principal, purchasing Vodafone shares in the market and selling them on to the company in line with the programme’s terms. The activity, spread across venues including XLON, CHIX, BATE, AQXE and TRQX, underscores Vodafone’s ongoing capital management strategy, which may impact liquidity in its shares and reflects continued use of buybacks as a tool to return value to shareholders.
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.
