The latest update is out from Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ).
Vodafone Group Plc continued its share buyback activity under a previously announced programme, repurchasing 5.4 million ordinary shares on 30 March 2026 from Goldman Sachs International at a volume-weighted average price of 111.74 pence. The company plans to hold these shares in treasury, bringing its treasury stock to about 1.24 billion shares and leaving roughly 23.09 billion ordinary shares in issue, a move that marginally reduces the free float and can enhance capital-return metrics for remaining shareholders.
The transactions were executed across multiple trading venues, including AQXE, CHIX and the London Stock Exchange, reflecting standard market operations for such buyback programmes. By continuing to retire shares through treasury purchases, Vodafone is signalling an ongoing commitment to capital management, which may support earnings per share over time and underscores management’s focus on shareholder returns amid a competitive telecoms landscape.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VOD) stock is a Buy with a £122.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vodafone stock, see the GB:VOD Stock Forecast page.
