Azimut Holding stock gains as buyback and US deal advance
Published on 09/22/2026 at 12:31 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Azimut Holding stock (ISIN IT0001050910) traded at EUR 39.66 on Borsa Italiana at approximately 2:28 p.m. local time on September 21, 2026, up 1.56 percent on the session. The move followed a EUR 11.17 million buyback and the planned purchase of the remaining 49 percent of Kennedy Capital Management.
Buyback adds a concrete signal
According to SoldiOnline on September 21, 2026, Azimut bought 291,195 ordinary shares between September 14, 2026 and September 18, 2026, at a volume-weighted average price of EUR 38.3677. The transaction had a total value of EUR 11,172,480.44, making the capital-return program a measurable part of the current stock story.
The buyback average was EUR 1.2923 below the September 21 intraday quotation of EUR 39.66, a difference of about 3.37 percent. This is a direct comparison between the disclosed repurchase level and the later market quotation, rather than an earnings-based valuation signal.
US expansion reaches full ownership
Azimut is also consolidating its position in US small and mid-cap investing. Milano Finanza reported on September 21, 2026 that Azimut agreed to acquire the remaining 49 percent of Kennedy Capital Management, following earlier investments that had lifted its stake to 51 percent.
The transaction is intended to give Azimut full ownership of the US boutique through Azimut NSI. The same report said assets managed by Azimut NSI had grown from USD 18.3 billion at its launch in early 2026 to more than USD 20 billion, an increase of at least USD 1.7 billion, or more than 9.3 percent.
Milano Finanza reported on September 21, 2026 that closing is expected by the end of 2026 and that the acquisition will be paid in cash through Azimut NSI, with specific earn-out mechanisms. The cash structure makes execution and integration important factors alongside the expansion opportunity.
Stock remains below analyst average
The September 21 quotation of EUR 39.66 stood below the average analyst price target of EUR 42.04 cited in the available market overview, a gap of EUR 2.38 or about 6.0 percent. The comparison provides context for the share price, but it is not a company forecast or an investment recommendation.
Azimut therefore enters the September 22, 2026 trading context with two measurable corporate actions: 291,195 repurchased shares and a planned move to 100 percent ownership of Kennedy Capital Management. The stock price reaction and the buyback amount give investors immediate market data, while the US transaction supplies the longer-term operating angle.
