Positive
  • Material buy-back scale: Repurchases total 138,267,611 shares for approximately US$1,791.5m, indicating meaningful capital return to shareholders.
Negative
  • Hong Kong cancellations pending: Shares repurchased on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange have not yet been cancelled, so the issued share count may change when those cancellations complete.

Insights

TL;DR: Continued buy-back reduces outstanding shares and signals capital return, with cross-listing execution differences between UK and Hong Kong processes.

The announcement confirms material ongoing repurchases totalling 138,267,611 shares for about US$1,791.5m, with 22 September trades executed on both UK and Hong Kong exchanges. The immediate cancellation of UK Venues purchases and the absence of treasury shares clarify the current issued share count of 17,281,752,061, a useful denominator for disclosure rules. The Hong Kong repurchases remain subject to a longer cancellation timeline, which the company will update when completed. From a governance perspective, on-exchange market purchases and publication of a full trade breakdown align with regulatory transparency obligations.

TL;DR: Large buy-back (~US$1.79bn) is shareholder-accretive in aggregate; timing and cross-jurisdiction mechanics affect when share count is finalized.

The filing provides clear execution details for 22 September trades: 2,182,488 shares on UK Venues at an average of £10.2779 and 1,490,000 shares on HKEX at an average of HK$106.9222. Aggregate repurchases since 31 July 2025 total 138,267,611 shares costing approximately US$1,791.5m. Investors can use the post-UK-cancellation issued share figure of 17,281,752,061 to calculate ownership percentages; a final figure will follow after Hong Kong cancellations. The availability of trade-level transparency via the RNS link aids verification of execution and pricing.
