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.

The daily acquisition volume saw a steady increase throughout the week, starting at 750,000 shares on July 13 and peaking at over 2.6 million shares by July 17. As the volume rose, the weighted average share price trended downward from 111.47 SEK to 95.62 SEK over the five-day period.

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.
