Three buyback milestones

Hiscox bought 339,990 shares between September 14 and September 18, 2026, according to Investegate. The company then bought 337,016 shares between September 21 and September 25, 2026, before purchasing 339,891 shares between September 28 and October 2, 2026. The latest batch was 0.85 percent larger than the preceding batch, and all repurchased shares were scheduled for cancellation.

What does cancellation change?

The sequence gives investors a clear measure of capital-return execution: three consecutive batches represented 339,990, 337,016 and 339,891 shares. Cancellation reduces the number of shares outstanding, so the buyback can support per-share measures if operating profit remains stable, although it does not by itself change underwriting performance.

Hiscox's investor page describes the group as a diversified insurer listed on the London Stock Exchange, with more than 3,000 employees across 13 countries and 31 offices. The company offers small-business and home insurance, reinsurance and insurance-linked securities, giving the buyback a broader capital-allocation context. Hiscox also identifies its 2026 interim results presentation as having been held on August 5, 2026.
