Implications
The ongoing buy-back programme, though modest in scale (0.74% of shares since March), signals management’s intention to deploy excess liquidity toward capital optimisation while maintaining a stable share count. Investors will watch for the cancellation of the 12.75 million repurchased shares and any further utilisation of the remaining 164.19 million-share mandate before its expiry.
