Ericsson Continues Share Buyback Push with 2.5 Million Shares Acquired
Between August 10 and August 14, 2026, Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson repurchased 2.5 million of its own Class B shares. The transactions, executed on Nasdaq Stockholm by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE, represent a cumulative investment of approximately 241.75 million SEK as part of an ongoing 15 billion SEK buyback initiative.
The repurchases occurred at a weighted average price of 96.70 SEK per share. Daily volume peaked on August 11, when the company acquired 1 million shares for 95.76 million SEK. This activity aligns with the broader program launched on April 16, 2026, which is scheduled to run through March 31, 2027. The company’s board intends to propose the cancellation of the acquired shares at the 2027 Annual General Meeting, excluding those reserved for existing employee incentive programs.
Following these recent acquisitions, Ericsson now holds 97,669,316 Class B shares in treasury. The total share count for the firm stands at 3,371,351,735, comprising both Class A and Class B units. All operations were conducted under the regulatory framework of the EU Market Abuse Regulation and the Safe Harbour Regulation to ensure transparency in market participation.
