Three buyback dates show the sequence
The latest chronology begins with Krka's first-half results on July 23, 2026, followed by 4,850 treasury shares acquired between October 2 and October 8, and then the 4,808-share purchase disclosed on October 16, 2026. The first-half report supplied the operating benchmark, while the two October notices detailed capital allocation.
The October 16, 2026 disclosure said treasury shares increased from 2,570,492, or 7.838 percent of issued stock, to 2,575,300, or 7.853 percent. The transactions therefore added 4,808 shares and lifted the treasury holding by 0.015 percentage points.
What does the buyback change?
The direct effect is visible in the share count rather than in operating guidance. Krka's buyback program now covers 2,575,300 shares, while 32,793,448 shares are listed for the company on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange.
The operating backdrop is also defined by the latest interim report. Krka reported revenue of EUR 1,119.3 million for the first half of 2026, up 7 percent from the first half of 2025, and net profit of EUR 260.2 million, up 5 percent.
Krka combines buyback and growth
The October transactions add a measurable capital-allocation element to a business that reported higher first-half revenue and net profit. For investors, the key comparison is the 7.853 percent treasury holding against 7.838 percent before the latest purchases, alongside 7 percent revenue growth in the first half of 2026.
