Plus500, the global multi-asset fintech group known for its proprietary trading platforms, announced Thursday the start of a new share buyback programme to repurchase up to $100.0 million of the company’s shares.
The buyback forms part of the $182.5 million in shareholder returns unveiled alongside Plus500’s H1 2026 Interim Results on 10 August 2026, which also included total dividends of $82.5 million.
The company described the first half of the year as a record six-month period, driven by the quality of its customer base, the strength of its OTC and non-OTC operations, and its proprietary technology.
During the period, Plus500 launched a B2C prediction markets offering, including next-generation sports contracts, and later introduced single stock futures while expanding its B2B partnerships. Its OTC business also grew internationally, broadening its product range to include 24/5 trading.
The company said the buyback reflects its disciplined approach to capital allocation and confidence in sustaining shareholder returns over the medium term. As of 30 June 2026, Plus500 held more than $860 million in cash, which it said supports both growth investment and ongoing returns to shareholders.
Under the programme, Plus500 may repurchase up to 5,759,572 shares, the remaining amount authorised at its 5 May 2026 Annual General Meeting.
Panmure Liberum Limited will manage the buyback on a non-discretionary basis, with purchases occurring in the open market through to no later than the announcement of Plus500’s H1 2027 results. Repurchased shares will be held in treasury.
