Buyback reaches 18,075,119 shares

The October 19 release said Evolution held 1,906,627 treasury shares after the latest purchases, against 183,058,121 total shares. Since May 19, 2026, the company has acquired 18,075,119 shares under the program, while 16,168,492 shares bought through September 21 were canceled in September.

The latest purchases therefore represent 2.78 percent of the total shares outstanding. The program allows purchases of up to 18,305,812 shares, or 10.00 percent of the share count, giving the company 230,693 shares of remaining room under that stated cap.

What does the next report need to show?

Evolution's second-quarter revenue was SEK 5,736 million and its operating result was SEK 3,299 million, producing a 57.50 percent operating margin. The figures were higher than first-quarter revenue of SEK 5,551 million and a 57.00 percent margin, according to Affarsvarlden. The January-September report will test whether that sequential improvement continued into the second half.
