According to a company update, the shares were acquired on Nasdaq Stockholm at a weighted average price of SEK 105.50, with a total transaction value of approximately SEK 391.5 million over the period.

Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson  has repurchased a total of 3,711,316 of its own Class B shares between April 27 and May 1, 2026, as part of its ongoing share buyback programme.

According to a company update, the shares were acquired on Nasdaq Stockholm at a weighted average price of SEK 105.50, with a total transaction value of approximately SEK 391.5 million over the period.

The daily breakdown shows that the largest volume was purchased on April 28, when 1.2 million shares were acquired, while no transactions were recorded on May 1.

The repurchases form part of Ericsson’s broader share buyback programme of up to SEK 15 billion, announced on April 16, 2026. The programme is scheduled to run from April 23, 2026, through to no later than March 31, 2027.

Ericsson said the buyback is being conducted in line with EU market regulations, including the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and the Safe Harbour framework. All transactions were executed on Nasdaq Stockholm by Goldman Sachs Bank Europe SE on behalf of the company.

Following the latest purchases, Ericsson’s treasury holdings now stand at 44,113,592 Class B shares. The company’s total number of issued shares amounts to 3,371,351,735, comprising both Class A and Class B shares.

The Board of Directors has indicated it intends to propose the cancellation of repurchased shares at the 2027 Annual General Meeting, excluding those required for employee incentive programmes.
