Bank Of Ireland Group plc ( (DE:BIRG) ) has shared an update.

Bank of Ireland Group plc has continued its previously announced share buyback programme, repurchasing a total of 344,733 ordinary shares on Euronext Dublin between 5 and 8 May 2026 through its broker J&E Davy. The repurchased shares, bought at prices ranging from about €16.43 to €17.18 per share, will be cancelled as part of the bank’s plan to return up to €530 million of capital to shareholders, reducing the share count and potentially enhancing earnings per share.

The transactions underscore the bank’s ongoing capital management strategy following its March 2026 announcement of the large-scale buyback, signalling confidence in its balance sheet and future profitability. For investors, the continued execution of the programme may support the share price and reflect management’s view that the stock is undervalued relative to its fundamentals, while also tightening the equity base in line with regulatory and strategic capital targets.
