Ericsson Repurchases 3.1 Million Shares in Latest Buyback Push
Ericsson acquired 3.1 million Class B shares between June 29 and July 3, 2026, marking a significant step in its ongoing 15 billion SEK capital return initiative. The transactions, managed by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE on Nasdaq Stockholm, totaled approximately 331.3 million SEK for the five-day trading period.
The company executed these repurchases as part of a broader program authorized on April 16, 2026, which is slated to run through March 31, 2027. Daily transaction volumes peaked on July 1 and July 2, with 800,000 shares purchased each day at weighted average prices of 106.23 SEK and 106.56 SEK, respectively. By the close of the period, the company had spent a total of 331,304,830 SEK to bolster its treasury holdings.
Following these acquisitions, Ericsson now holds 67,098,958 Class B shares in its treasury. The Board of Directors plans to propose the cancellation of these repurchased shares—excluding those reserved for existing incentive programs—at the 2027 Annual General Meeting. The buyback program adheres to the European Union’s Market Abuse Regulation, ensuring all market operations are conducted under the established Safe Harbour framework.
