Ericsson Accelerates Share Buybacks with 9.6 Million Shares Acquired
Between July 13 and July 17, 2026, Ericsson repurchased 9,595,000 of its own Class B shares, deploying nearly 945 million Swedish kronor. The aggressive buying spree, executed via Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE on Nasdaq Stockholm, marks a significant step in the company's 15 billion kronor capital return program.
These transactions form part of a broader buyback initiative launched on April 16, 2026, which is slated to continue until March 31, 2027. Ericsson’s Board of Directors currently plans to cancel the majority of these repurchased shares, excluding those reserved for existing employee incentive programs. Following this latest round of activity, the company’s treasury holdings have climbed to 79,198,312 Class B shares out of a total share count of approximately 3.37 billion.
