Heidelberg Materials, one of Europe's leading building materials conglomerates, plans a share buyback program worth up to 1.2 billion euros. The duration of the program extends until the end of 2026 at the latest. The company announced that this move is in line with its financial strategy and serves both to reduce net debt and reflect the good business development in the past fiscal year. In addition, the share buyback program is intended to allow shareholders to participate in the company's success.
The program consists of a total of three tranches, with the first starting after the annual general meeting in the second quarter of this year. Heidelberg Materials, which is listed on the German Stock Exchange in the DAX, expects a significant increase in the share price as part of the buyback. This is also confirmed by the 2.24 percent increase in the share price in post-market Tradegate trading.
The Building Materials Group Takes Advantage of the Favorable Market to Further Strengthen Its Financial Structure While Also Rewarding Investors. The Company Emphasized That This Strategy Is in the Interest of All Parties Involved and Positively Influences the Future Development of the Group.
In recent years, Heidelberg Materials has continuously reduced its debt and optimized its financing structure. Now, the company plans to further reduce the level of net debt and decrease its capital costs. The share buyback program is another step in this direction.
The Construction Materials Group has seen solid business development over the past few years and was able to record a positive result again in the last fiscal year. The company's decision to return part of its capital to shareholders reflects confidence in future development and the strength of the company.
