share buy-back programme financial
"third tranche of the 2026 share buy-back programme"
A share buy-back programme is when a company purchases its own shares from the market. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of remaining shares and signal confidence in the company's future. For investors, it can be a sign that the company believes its stock is undervalued and may lead to higher share prices.
share capital financial
"0.93% of Equinor ASA’s share capital"
Share capital is the total amount of money a company raises by selling pieces of itself, called shares, to investors. It’s like a company’s savings from many owners, which helps fund its growth and operations. This money matters because it shows how much the company has raised from shareholders and how it’s financed its business.
