Schouw & Co. Reports Week 35 Share Buy-Back Activity in 2026
Danish conglomerate Schouw & Co. continues its expanded 2026 share buy-back programme, now valued at up to DKK 410 million.
Danish industrial conglomerate Schouw & Co. disclosed its week 35 share buy-back activity Tuesday under a programme that has grown significantly since its January launch, with the total authorized repurchase ceiling now reaching DKK 410 million for calendar year 2026.
Schouw & Co. originally launched the buy-back initiative on 2 January 2026, following Company Announcement no. 59 issued 18 December 2025. The programme initially authorized the company to repurchase shares worth up to DKK 240 million through 31 December 2026, signaling management's confidence in the company's underlying value and financial position.

Under Company Announcement no. 48, published 14 August 2026, Schouw & Co. extended the buy-back by an additional DKK 170 million, pushing the total authorized repurchase amount to DKK 410 million.
