EQT AB Completes Share Repurchase Program Amid Market Confidence
EQT AB, a prominent investment firm based in Sweden, has successfully executed its share repurchase program, culminating with significant buybacks during the week of September 22 to September 26, 2025. Over this week, EQT completed the acquisition of 561,479 ordinary shares, bringing the total number of shares repurchased since the inception of the program to 5,535,521 shares, amounting to a substantial total value of SEK 1,861,329,051.51. This strategic initiative was part of a broader repurchase plan, which EQT had previously announced on May 27, 2025.
The buyback program, which ran from July 18 to September 26, 2025, was meticulously designed and executed under the guidelines of the Market Abuse Regulation, ensuring compliance with EU standards and maintaining transparency in the operation. Each transaction was conducted on the Nasdaq Stockholm exchange, facilitated by Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB on EQT’s behalf.
The details reveal a steady approach in the buyback strategy, with EQT repurchasing shares at varying prices throughout the week. On September 22 alone, 114,000 shares were purchased with a weighted average price of SEK 338.62, totaling SEK 38,602,680.00. The subsequent days reflected a similar trend, with transactions consistently reflecting prices around SEK 330, demonstrating confidence and stability from EQT in its market position.
Critically, this repurchase program is indicative of EQT's commitment to enhancing shareholder value and managing its capital effectively. By returning a considerable portion of capital to its shareholders through these buybacks, EQT aims not only to support its share price but also to signal to the market its solid financial health and future growth prospects.
As of the end of the repurchase program on September 26, 2025, the total number of issued ordinary shares in EQT stands at 1,234,611,900, with EQT holding 63,458,131 shares. The total outstanding shares, accounting for those held by EQT, is reported at 1,171,649,825. The repurchase initiative aligns with EQT’s broader strategy to manage its equity efficiently and fulfill the shareholder promise by maintaining robust operational performance.
Looking forward, the results of this buyback program could have lasting implications for EQT. Stakeholders will closely monitor the impacts on share pricing and investor sentiment, particularly in a rapidly evolving market environment. Investors can expect EQT to continue exploring ways to uphold shareholder value, especially as it navigates through the post-buyback corporate landscape.
The full details of the transactions, including associated values and specific day-by-day activities, have been documented comprehensively and are available for interested parties looking for in-depth insights into EQT's strategic actions during this period.
