Lion Finance cancelled 34,000 treasury shares on October 7, 2026, bringing voting rights to 43,014,496. The announcement from Investegate places the action within Lion Finance's GEL 59 million buyback and cancellation program.

Buyback activity reaches October

A newer tranche covered 12,000 ordinary shares purchased between October 5 and October 9, 2026, with the shares held in treasury before cancellation. TipRanks reported that the transaction reduced the total number of ordinary shares with voting rights to 43,006,496.

The two disclosures show the program operating through both purchases and subsequent cancellations. The October 7 cancellation lifted the total shares cancelled since August 2025 to 845,080, while the later tranche points to continued capital management.

What changed in second-quarter results?

Lion Finance reported total revenue of GEL 1,219.525 million and net income of GEL 618.8 million for the second quarter of 2026. Simply Wall St said both figures were higher than in the second quarter of 2025, when revenue was GEL 1,024.473 million and net income was GEL 513.286 million. Net margin also rose from 50.1 percent to 50.7 percent.

That comparison gives the buyback a broader financial backdrop: capital returns continued while the latest reported quarter showed higher revenue, earnings and margin. The figures describe operating performance in Georgia and Armenia, where Lion Finance provides banking and financial services through its subsidiaries.
