Ericsson Repurchases 8.5 Million Shares in Late July Buyback Push

The daily volume of repurchases saw a steady decline throughout the week, starting with 2,665,000 shares on July 20 at a weighted average price of 94.9989 SEK, and tapering to 750,000 shares by July 24 at 91.2012 SEK. Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE managed the acquisitions on behalf of the telecommunications firm, adhering to the European Union's Market Abuse Regulation and Safe Harbour requirements. Following these transactions, Ericsson now holds 87,669,316 treasury shares. The company’s Board of Directors intends to propose the cancellation of these repurchased shares—excluding those reserved for incentive programs—at the 2027 Annual General Meeting. This activity forms part of a broader capital return initiative launched in April 2026, scheduled to run through March 31, 2027.
