OTE stock was trading at EUR 19.21 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 12:38 p.m. CET. The company had bought 154,892 of its own shares between October 19 and October 23, according to Reuters on October 26, 2026.

Buyback adds a capital signal

The latest transaction had an average price of EUR 19.31512 per share and brought OTE's treasury holdings to 5,595,022 shares, equal to 1.420 percent of the outstanding total, the Reuters report said. The figures place the announcement in the wider 2026 buyback program rather than presenting it as a one-off purchase.

OTE's second-quarter revenue stood at EUR 855.8 million, while the current-quarter revenue estimate was EUR 859.68 million, a difference of EUR 3.88 million, according to Yahoo Finance. The same overview lists second-quarter profit at EUR 145.0 million and a profit margin of 16.94 percent.

Three events shaped the stock

On October 13, 2026, Optima restarted coverage with a Buy rating and a EUR 22.50 target, as reported by Euro2day. On October 20, 2026, Barclays cut its rating from Overweight to Underweight and reduced its target from EUR 20.00 to EUR 18.00, according to Business Insider. On October 26, 2026, OTE disclosed the latest 154,892-share purchase.

What does the buyback mean for capital?

The 1.420 percent treasury stake gives the program a measurable effect on the share count and capital structure. For investors, the next test is whether the operating figures support the cash-return message. The EUR 855.8 million second-quarter revenue figure was below the EUR 859.68 million estimate listed by Yahoo Finance.

Results date sets the next test

Investegate reported that OTE will publish third-quarter 2026 results on October 30, 2026, before the Athens market opens, followed by a management call at 1:00 p.m. Athens time. That date gives the buyback announcement an immediate earnings checkpoint.

OTE stock awaits the results

The combination of ongoing repurchases, differing analyst targets and the EUR 855.8 million second-quarter revenue base leaves the October 30 release as the next concrete valuation test. OTE stock was trading at EUR 19.21 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 12:38 p.m. CET.
