Share buyback of 4 million euros by Eurobank
Eurobank executed a share buyback valued at nearly 4 million euros as part of its ongoing capital management strategy.
Eurobank has undertaken a share buyback program worth approximately 4 million euros, acquiring 1,130,117 shares at an average price of 3.5114 euros per share. This move follows the recent extraordinary General Assembly's decision made in October, reinforcing the bank's commitment to returning capital to its shareholders. The total expenditure for this transaction amounted to 3,968,264.47 euros, symbolizing a proactive approach in managing its stock and investor relations.
In April 2024, Eurobank received approval from the European Central Bank to distribute a substantial amount of 674 million euros from its earnings, which reached 1.48 billion euros. As part of its regular General Assembly on April 30, 2025, it was decided to allocate 386 million euros for dividends and 288 million euros for a stock buyback program. The buyback initiative started in May 2025 and has been progressing steadily throughout the year, enhancing shareholder value while signaling a robust financial position.
Following the recent transactions, Eurobank now holds a total of 23,657,082 of its own shares in treasury. Additionally, the management has proposed using the same amount of 288 million euros from projected 2025 profits (expected at 1.41 billion euros) for ongoing stock repurchases. With the stock trading slightly lower than 3.5 euros, this strategic move underscores Eurobank's ongoing efforts to support its share price and provide value to its investors, amidst a financially challenging environment for many banks.
