Poste Italiane launched a second buyback tranche worth up to EUR 70.05 million on October 7, 2026, while its stock sat 17.44 percent below the EUR 29.48 52-week high. According to Teleborsa on October 6, 2026, the program covers a maximum of 2,986,347 shares and is intended mainly for variable remuneration paid in shares.
What does the buyback change?
The second tranche equals 0.185 percent of Poste Italiane's share capital and can be completed in full or in several purchases over 18 months. The first tranche bought 2,013,653 shares for EUR 54.95 million between August 3 and August 31, 2026, according to Il Sole 24 ORE.
The structure matters because the shares are earmarked for employee and director compensation rather than a cash distribution. By October 6, 2026, Poste Italiane held 14,733,953 treasury shares, giving the program a defined capital-management role.
Three milestones shape integration
On July 23, 2026, Poste Italiane reported first-half revenue of EUR 6.84 billion, up 5.90 percent year over year, while adjusted EBIT reached EUR 1.77 billion, up 6.80 percent, according to Rankia. On October 1, 2026, Poste bought about 24.1 million Telecom Italia shares and lifted its stake to 86.952 percent, as Websim reported on October 2, 2026. On October 7, 2026, the second buyback tranche began with a maximum outlay of EUR 70.05 million, according to Teleborsa.
