Ericsson Executes Significant Share Buybacks in Late September 2026

In a strategic move to enhance shareholder value, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) conducted a series of share buybacks from September 21 to September 25, 2026. The buybacks are part of a broader initiative announced earlier in April, intending to repurchase shares valued up to SEK 15 billion over an extended period.
Breakdown of Share Buybacks
During this specific week, Ericsson repurchased a total of 500,000 Class B shares as detailed below:
| Date | Number of Shares | Average Price (SEK) | Total Transaction Value (SEK) |
|---|---|---|---|
| -- | --- | ----- | -------- |
| 21/09/2026 | 100,000 | 100.30 | 10,030,000.00 |

Total Impact
The total amount spent on repurchases during this period was approximately SEK 48.28 million, with an average share price of SEK 96.56. Following these transactions, Ericsson's treasury stock now consists of 108,518,663 Class B shares from a total share count of 3,371,351,735. This includes 261,755,983 Class A shares and 3,109,595,752 Class B shares.
Strategy Behind Buybacks
The recent buybacks are a crucial part of Ericsson’s long-term strategy to manage capital and maximize shareholder returns. The company's Board of Directors has indicated plans to propose the cancellation of shares repurchased beyond those allocated for incentive schemes at the next Annual General Meeting in 2027. This move is intended to reinforce the stability of the company’s stock by reducing the available shares in circulation, thus potentially increasing the value for remaining shareholders.
The share buyback program is executed under the regulations set forth by the European Union, ensuring compliance with the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 related to market abuse, alongside other pertinent guidelines.
Conclusion
Ericsson’s active approach to share repurchases during late September is indicative of its ongoing commitment to maintain a strong capital structure while returning value to its investors. As the market dynamics evolve, such financial strategies will undoubtedly be closely monitored by market analysts and shareholders alike.
