Buyback reaches its final tranche

According to EQS News on October 2, 2026, Heidelberg Materials acquired 2,739,278 shares in the final tranche. The purchases represented 1.55 percent of share capital and cost EUR 447,999,950.35, rounded to EUR 448.0 million.

The completed program had a maximum volume of EUR 1.2 billion and was announced in 2024. The final tranche therefore represented 37.33 percent of the program ceiling, based on EUR 448.0 million divided by EUR 1.2 billion.

Jefferies sees 4.60 percent growth

Jefferies kept its Buy rating and EUR 286.00 target in its October 1, 2026 note, while analyst Glynis Johnson projected 4.60 percent organic growth for the third quarter, finanzen.net reported. The estimate gives the November reporting date a clear operational test: actual organic growth will be measured against 4.60 percent.

The companys investor-relations page lists EUR 21.5 billion of revenue, EUR 3.4 billion from current operations and EUR 2.1 billion of free cash flow for fiscal year 2025, alongside a 10.4 percent return on invested capital, Heidelberg Materials states. These figures provide the historical financial base for assessing whether the expected third-quarter growth can support the companys annual objectives.

November brings the next test

Heidelberg Materials is scheduled to publish its quarterly statement for January through September 2026 on November 4, 2026, according to the companys calendar on Marketscreener. That release will show whether the 4.60 percent organic-growth expectation is reflected in reported operating performance.
