''the large shareholders just agree to everything!!''

they give approval to things that are of benefit to them. If simply sitting on exiting shares without further purchases,, then their percentage ownership would go up a nice amount on completion of the 4 Billion spend

Lr

btw

shares held in treasury destined to be cancelled , are as good as cancelled as far as sharing in any profits eligible to outstanding shares is concerned.

LR

''NO IT'S NOT!!!! Not when the shares are not cancelled''

do you also lack reading ability?

The vast majority of shares bought back will be cancelled.

The effect of the buyback programmes is the same compared to a business that would issue new shares to accommodate employees.

''think you're king of the LSE Website and BB Police.''

once again - really - I am simply replying to posts thatIi feel need a response. Easy enough for most to understand.

''I fully understand''

if that were the case you would not have needed replying to.

SAGA continuing it's good run since update

BAT reached near 2 year highs

IMB reached yet another 6 year high

TSCO reached yet another 10 year high

VOD dropped a lot on update (looked ok to me) - took advantage and made a purchase.

LLOY up to a current market cap of about a low £37.4 Billion

ffs

Bug

you have serious issues

'' it is you that is absolutely clueless about Buybacks''

really? how is that - I am stating the facts - end of

'' if you think that spending the money to buy shares, to then put them in Treasury only to award staff, is "Share Holder Value", then IMO, it doe's not matter if you're a Longtimeinvestor. A fool is a fool.''

Once again you are clueless -- buybacks are a return to shareholders by way of a reduction in share capital.

The profit pie will be sliced into fewer slices for remaining shareholders.

Shares for employees in many businesses will take place regardless to whether one company decides to purchase and hold them or whether new shares are issued, it is the same net result. Vodafone are a business that holds them. The vast majority of the shares bought from the total 4 billion allocated will be shares that will be cancelled.

''Now stop trolling me''

are you for real - this in an investors board, where posts need responding to, especially the nonsense ones. No nonsense, no reply needed.

Awards are made via the setting/recommendation of policy by the remuneration Committee for the approval by shareholders.

tomorrow is another day

good luck with your purchase - a further leg down is not impossible of course,but if it happens I will probably buy more back from my 78p sale.

really - just about the last thing to cut down on for virtually everyone would be their use of mobile services - they would much rather turn the heating down by a couple of degrees and put on a jumper.

Gas??

The use of services from businesses such as vodafone will not be determined by energy costs.

Who on this board have given up their smart phone just because we have just about the highest energy costs.

''On the final day of 2024, it completed the €8bn cash disposal of Vodafone Italy to Swisscom AG. The proceeds from the deal have been used to reduce net debt and the company’s board said it will target to return up to €2bn via share buybacks.''

buybacks have to be conducted within certain rules.

Buybacks do not determine share price movements on any given day - the market decides - Goldman are NOT the market - they can only mop up a certain percentage of shares on offer.

LR

''Yet again, another company using funds to NOT create Share Holder value''

Yet again you are clueless on this matter.

Buybacks are a return to shareholders.

The profit pie is sliced into fewer slices for remaining shareholders.

About another 2.5 Billion to be spent on repurchasing shares for the benefit of shareholders staying for the longer term.

''debt reduction''

you need to do a bit of research

''hence price action''

???

what is that supposed to mean.

The market decides the valuation of Vodafone on a daily basis.

Doesn't work like that - it is the market that will determine any floor

Large volume today as you would expect - just a question of at what point the bounce will start

At about 64.7p some of those shares that I sold at 78p in May 2024.

Investors to weigh up whether to reinvest Fridays dividend at these price levels.
