Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ) has shared an update.
Vodafone has continued executing its share buyback programme, repurchasing 5 million ordinary shares on 2 March 2026 from Goldman Sachs International at a volume-weighted average price of 113 pence. The latest tranche, which will be held in treasury, lifts Vodafone’s treasury holdings to about 1.74 billion shares out of 23.14 billion in issue, incrementally boosting earnings-per-share metrics and signalling ongoing capital returns to shareholders.
The transaction, conducted on the London Stock Exchange with Goldman Sachs acting as riskless principal, forms part of previously announced instructions under the company’s wider repurchase plan. By shrinking its free float through treasury share accumulation, Vodafone maintains flexibility for future capital management options while reinforcing its commitment to shareholder remuneration in a challenging European telecoms market.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:VOD) stock is a Buy with a £125.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Vodafone stock, see the GB:VOD Stock Forecast page.
