Gouverneur Bancorp approves new 5% stock repurchase program

GOUVERNEUR, N.Y. - Gouverneur Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQB:GOVB) announced Thursday its Board of Directors has approved a new stock repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to 52,778 shares, representing 5% of the company’s outstanding common stock. The $14.28 million market cap company, currently trading at $13.53 per share, appears slightly overvalued according to InvestingPro analysis.

The program will terminate upon completion of the 52,778 share purchase or on July 24, 2026, if not all shares have been repurchased by that date.

This follows the company’s first stock repurchase program announced on December 11, 2024, which authorized the purchase of up to 55,356 shares. Under that program, 51,569 shares were repurchased at a cost of $634,000, averaging $12.29 per share. As of July 23, 2025, 3,787 shares remain available for repurchase under the existing program.
