KE Holdings Inc. (BEKE-W, HKEX: 02423) filed a Next Day Disclosure Return on 31 July 2026, confirming continued execution of its share-repurchase programme authorized on 12 June 2026.
On 30 July, the company bought back 536,358 Class A weighted-voting-rights (WVR) ordinary shares on the New York Stock Exchange at prices between USD 5.54 and USD 5.64, for a total consideration of USD 3.00 million. All repurchased shares are scheduled for cancellation.
Cumulatively, between 22 May and 30 July 2026, KE Holdings has repurchased 24.39 million shares—equivalent to 0.71% of the 3.46 billion shares outstanding when the mandate was granted—at volume-weighted average prices ranging from HKD 36.08 to HKD 45.01 in Hong Kong and from USD 4.72 to USD 5.85 in New York.
Despite the ongoing buybacks, the company’s issued share capital remains unchanged at 3.33 billion Class A ordinary shares and 135.95 million Class B ordinary shares, totaling 3.46 billion shares as of 30 July 2026. No treasury shares were held at period-end.
Under the approved mandate, KE Holdings is authorised to repurchase up to 346.24 million shares; the shares bought to date represent approximately 7.05% of this limit, leaving significant capacity for further repurchases. Following the latest transaction, the company is subject to a 30-day moratorium—until 29 August 2026—during which it cannot issue new shares or transfer treasury shares without Stock Exchange approval.
