Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited reported no change in its outstanding ordinary share capital on 21 September 2026, maintaining 1.96 billion shares in issue. The company continued its share buy-back programme, with the following key developments disclosed in the latest Next Day Disclosure Return:
Key figures • Latest on-market repurchase (21 Sep 2026): 66,000 shares at prices ranging from HKD 3.965 to HKD 4.005, for a total consideration of HKD 0.26 million (volume-weighted average price: HKD 3.99). • Shares bought for cancellation but not yet cancelled (14–21 Sep 2026): 331,000 shares, equivalent to 0.02 % of the 1.96 billion shares outstanding. Aggregate consideration for these six trading sessions is approximately HKD 1.32 million, implying a volume-weighted average cost of HKD 3.99 per share. • Cumulative repurchases under the 27 May 2026 general mandate: 7.10 million shares, representing 0.36 % of the company’s issued share base on the date the mandate was granted. The mandate authorises repurchases of up to 196.50 million shares. • Moratorium: In accordance with Hong Kong Listing Rules, Sun Hung Kai & Co. is restricted from issuing new shares or selling treasury shares until 21 October 2026.
Capital structure • Opening and closing issued share count (excluding treasury shares) on 18–21 Sep 2026: 1,958.19 million shares. • No new shares were issued and no treasury shares were cancelled during the period covered.
Implications The continued share repurchases, though modest relative to total shares outstanding, signal ongoing utilisation of the company’s buy-back mandate. The current pace of repurchases leaves significant headroom—over 189 million shares—under the existing authority. The maintenance of the issued share count indicates that repurchased shares remain pending cancellation as of 21 September 2026, with the next disclosure to confirm their removal from the share register once processed.
