Zegona Communications ( (GB:ZEG) ) has provided an announcement.

Zegona Communications has continued its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing 172,000 ordinary shares on 11 March 2026 via Canaccord Genuity at a volume-weighted average price of 1,760.53 pence. The company plans to cancel these shares, reducing its share count to 229,733,802 and setting the new baseline for voting rights calculations under UK disclosure rules.

By shrinking its share capital, Zegona is effectively increasing existing investors’ proportional ownership and potentially enhancing earnings per share over time. The move underscores management’s confidence in the company’s valuation and capital structure following the integration of Vodafone Spain, while also aligning with regulatory transparency requirements for shareholders and other market participants.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ZEG) stock is a Buy with a £2300.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Zegona Communications stock, see the GB:ZEG Stock Forecast page.
