IG Group Holdings said Thursday that it has commenced its new share buyback programme of up to £125 million, with the aim of reducing its share capital.
IG Group Commences £125 Million Share Buyback Programme
The London-listed trading platform said it has instructed Morgan Stanley & Co. International to carry out the programme under pre-set parameters.
The buyback will run from 4 September 2025 until 30 January 2026, subject to market conditions and capital requirements.
Purchased shares will be held in treasury, the company confirmed.
“The sole purpose of the Programme is to reduce share capital,” IG Group said.
The buyback falls within the authority granted by shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting on 18 September 2024.
Under that authorisation, a maximum of 23.83 million shares remain available for repurchase.
The move follows IG Group’s announcement in July that it would initiate the £125 million programme as part of its capital management strategy.
The company said the plan provides flexibility to return value to shareholders while retaining sufficient capital to support growth.
The launch comes ahead of IG Group’s scheduled trading update for the first quarter of fiscal 2026, due on 25 September.
