Crispr Therapeutics shares tumble after significant earnings miss
LONDON - South32 (OTC:SOUHY) Limited (ASX:LSE:JSE:S32; ADR:SOUHY), the globally diversified mining and metals company, has announced an update on its share buy-back program. The notification, which details the daily buy-back activity, has been lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange and voluntarily disclosed on both the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG).
The company’s latest buy-back information is now submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and is available for public inspection. This move aligns with South32’s ongoing efforts to manage its capital effectively and return value to its shareholders.
South32, headquartered in Australia, operates across several continents, producing a wide range of commodities such as bauxite, alumina, aluminium, copper, zinc, lead, silver, nickel, and manganese. The company is also focusing on reshaping its portfolio to support a low-carbon future, in line with its commitment to sustainable development.
The buy-back program is part of South32’s broader strategy to optimize its asset portfolio and improve shareholder returns. Share buy-backs are a common practice among publicly-traded companies, allowing them to repurchase their own shares from the marketplace, which can contribute to a reduction in the number of shares outstanding and potentially increase the value of remaining shares.
The announcement did not specify the number of shares South32 intends to buy back or the financial terms involved. However, such programs are typically viewed as a sign of confidence by company management in the intrinsic value of the firm and its future prospects.
Investors and interested parties can access more detailed information regarding the buy-back update through the link provided in the notification or by visiting South32’s website.
