Porr (ISIN AT0000609607) resolved a share buyback worth up to EUR 15 million on October 8, 2026, according to FinancialFilings. The program covers up to 392,782 shares, equal to 1.00 percent of the share capital, and Porr stock was trading at EUR 30.98 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:01 a.m. CEST, 0.55 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 31.15.
Buyback puts capital policy first
The buyback is scheduled to run from October 14, 2026, through March 31, 2027. The maximum purchase price is EUR 15 million, while the per-share price may reach up to 10.00 percent above the average unweighted closing price of the preceding ten trading days, the Wiener Borse reported on October 8, 2026.
The company said the shares may serve any purpose permitted under Austrian corporate law, including future employee participation programs. The filing also states that the program will not affect Porr's stock exchange listing.
Three dates chart the story
On August 27, 2026, Porr reported first-half revenue of EUR 2.93 billion, down 1.10 percent from the prior-year period, while net income rose 38.00 percent to EUR 28.0 million, according to Simply Wall St. On September 23, 2026, Porr placed a EUR 150 million hybrid convertible bond, according to a market report dated that day. On October 8, 2026, the company announced the EUR 15 million buyback.
What do the earnings mean?
The first-half figures show a mixed operating picture: revenue declined 1.10 percent, but net income increased 38.00 percent and earnings per share rose to EUR 0.71 from EUR 0.53 in the first half of 2025, according to Simply Wall St. For investors, the buyback therefore arrives alongside stronger reported profitability but softer top-line development.
Upcoming reporting date is clear
The next two dated milestones are the buyback start on October 14, 2026, and the next earnings date on November 19, 2026, as listed by Simply Wall St. The November report will give investors the next test of whether profit growth can offset the first-half revenue decline.

Porr stock was trading at EUR 30.98 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:01 a.m. CEST, 0.55 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 31.15.
