Ericsson reported SEK 746.4 million of share buybacks and Ericsson stock was trading at EUR 8.38 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 9:13 a.m. CEST. The company repurchased 7,917,288 Class B shares during the period from October 5 through October 9, according to Ericsson on October 12, 2026.

Buyback reaches SEK 746.4 million

The transactions had a weighted average price of SEK 94.2688 per share and covered 7,917,288 shares. Ericsson's treasury stock rose to 125,805,951 Class B shares after the purchases, while total shares outstanding stood at 3,371,351,735.

The buybacks form part of a program worth up to SEK 15.0 billion, announced on April 16, 2026, and scheduled to run through March 31, 2027, at the latest. The company said the board intends to propose cancellation of repurchased shares at the 2027 annual meeting, excluding shares needed for share-based incentive obligations.

What does the buyback add?

The immediate financial scale is clear: the October 5 to October 9 purchases represented 4.1 percent of the program's maximum value. That comparison puts the latest transaction flow in context, while the planned cancellation gives the capital-return program a potential share-count effect.

Three dated Ericsson milestones
