News related to:Amundi · 2 min read
Amundi, the leading European asset manager and one of the top 10 global players, has successfully completed its €500 million share buyback programme, representing 3% of the company’s share capital. This initiative, in line with the commitments of the 2025 Ambitions plan, was finalised on 18 September 2026.
The programme involved the purchase of 5.9 million Amundi shares (ISIN code FR0004125920), which equates to approximately 2.9% of Amundi’s share capital. The average price per share, excluding taxes, was €84.56. As part of this process, Amundi’s Board of Directors, which will meet on 28 October 2026 to review the financial statements as at 30 September 2026, will also enact the cancellation of these shares.
Amundi, known for its comprehensive range of savings and investment solutions, currently manages close to €2.6 trillion in assets and offers its services to over 200 million investors. The company’s global presence is underpinned by the expertise and advice of 5,400 professionals across 34 countries.
The share buyback programme was carried out to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR Regulation), which includes Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014, Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1011, Regulation (EU) No. 2016/1033, Regulation (EU) No. 2019/2115, Regulation (EU) 2023/2869, and Regulation (EU) 2024/2809. This regulation, aimed at preventing market abuse and ensuring fair treatment of investors, was a key factor in the implementation of the share buyback programme.
The temporary restrictions applied to the existing share liquidity agreement with Kepler Cheuvreux, which had been put in place to ensure compliance with the requirements of the MAR Regulation, are thus lifted. This move reflects Amundi’s ongoing commitment to maintaining transparency and adhering to regulatory standards.
Amundi’s 2025 Ambitions plan, which guided this share buyback programme, is part of the company’s broader strategy to optimise its capital structure and enhance shareholder value. The successful completion of this programme is a significant milestone in Amundi’s efforts to strengthen its financial position and improve its overall performance.
Amundi’s strong local presence, particularly in Europe and Asia, continues to position it as a trusted partner for its clients and for society at large. The company’s commitment to responsible investment and its comprehensive range of services, including active and passive management, listed and private assets, and a wide range of distribution channels, further solidify its position as a leading player in the international asset management landscape.
The successful completion of the €500 million share buyback programme is a testament to Amundi’s strategic planning and execution. As the company moves forward, it remains committed to delivering value to its shareholders and continuing to provide innovative and reliable investment solutions.
