Swedish telecom equipment manufacturer Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson continued its ongoing share repurchase initiative between 27 April and 1 May 2026, acquiring millions of its own Class B shares on Nasdaq Stockholm as part of a broader capital management strategy aimed at enhancing shareholder value.

Across the four trading days in the period, Ericsson repurchased a total of 3,711,316 Class B shares (ISIN: SE0000108656), with daily volumes and prices reflecting active participation in the market:

On 27 April 2026, the company acquired 1,000,000 shares at a weighted average price of SEK 105.14, representing a total transaction value of approximately SEK 105.14 million. The following day, 28 April, saw an increased buyback volume of 1,200,000 shares at a slightly lower average price of SEK 103.95, amounting to about SEK 124.74 million.

Momentum remained steady on 29 April, with Ericsson purchasing another 1,000,000 shares at an average price of SEK 106.31, corresponding to SEK 106.31 million. On 30 April, the programme concluded the period with 511,316 shares repurchased at a higher average price of SEK 108.23, totalling roughly SEK 55.34 million.

Overall, the aggregate weighted average purchase price for the period stood at SEK 105.50 per share, bringing the total transaction value to approximately SEK 391.53 million.

These transactions form part of Ericsson’s broader share buyback programme of up to SEK 15 billion, which was announced on 16 April 2026 and is scheduled to run from 23 April 2026 through 31 March 2027 at the latest. The programme is being conducted in accordance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and the related Safe Harbour framework, ensuring compliance with established market conduct standards.

All repurchases during this period were executed on Nasdaq Stockholm and managed by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE on behalf of Ericsson.

Following completion of these transactions, Ericsson’s treasury stock increased to 44,113,592 Class B shares. The company’s total issued share capital remains unchanged at 3,371,351,735 shares, comprising 261,755,983 Class A shares and 3,109,595,752 Class B shares.

The board has also indicated its intention to propose at the 2027 Annual General Meeting that repurchased shares—excluding those required for share-based incentive programmes—be cancelled, reinforcing the long-term capital efficiency objectives underpinning the programme.
