Salvatore Ferragamo stock (ISIN IT0004712375) ended the session at EUR 8.05 on September 15, 2026 on Euronext Milan, down about 4.5 percent from the prior close, after the company detailed fresh share repurchases worth roughly EUR 1.9 million in its ongoing buyback program.

Buyback adds 222,000 shares to treasury

According to Alliance News on September 15, 2026, Salvatore Ferragamo said it purchased 222,000 of its own ordinary shares between September 7 and September 11, 2026 at an average price of EUR 8.66 per share, for a total consideration of EUR 1.9 million.

As summarized by Teleborsa on September 15, 2026, the repurchases were carried out under a buyback program authorized by shareholders on April 23, 2026 and approved by the board on May 27, 2026, highlighting that capital returns are a current management priority.

Teleborsa reports that, following these operations, Ferragamo holds 3,728,367 treasury shares as of September 15, 2026, corresponding to 2.21 percent of its share capital, compared with the 222,000 shares bought in this tranche that represent 0.13 percent of the capital.

Stock retreats despite support from buyback

Alliance News notes that Ferragamo shares closed at EUR 8.05 on September 15, 2026, showing a decline of about 4.5 percent in that session despite the ongoing purchases by the company, indicating that broader market sentiment toward luxury stocks weighed on the price more than the buyback support.

Teleborsa adds that at the end of the September 15, 2026 session, the stock showed a negative percentage change of 4.45 percent on Piazza Affari with an intraday low of EUR 7.74 and a high of EUR 8.43, suggesting active trading around the company’s renewed capital management measures.

Based on the closing price of EUR 8.05 on September 15, 2026 and the total consideration of EUR 1.9 million for 222,000 shares at EUR 8.66 each, the buyback was executed at a premium to the latest close, underlining management’s willingness to support the share even at levels above the prevailing market price during that period.

Balance sheet and capital structure trends

A data overview on Eulerpool indicates that Ferragamo’s debt to equity ratio for 2026 stands at 1.28, up from 1.10 in 2025, representing an increase of 16.26 percent year on year, which means leverage has risen but remains within a moderate range for a branded luxury goods company focused on retail and wholesale activities.

The same Eulerpool metrics show that this move from 1.10 to 1.28 in the debt to equity ratio in 2026 reflects a higher reliance on debt compared with the previous year, a factor investors may weigh alongside the company’s decision to allocate EUR 1.9 million to share repurchases instead of accelerating deleveraging.

For context, the growing treasury share position of 3,728,367 shares, amounting to 2.21 percent of capital as of September 15, 2026 per Teleborsa, effectively reduces the free float and can lift earnings per share in future periods if profits stabilize or grow, while also providing flexibility for potential employee share plans or strategic transactions.
