BASF Announces €1.5 Billion Share Buyback Starting November 2025
BASF SE has disclosed plans to initiate a share buyback program in November 2025, with a buyback volume of up to €1.5 billion. This initiative, part of a larger €4 billion buyback strategy announced in September 2024, will run until June 2026. The company aims to repurchase shares, subsequently canceling them to reduce share capital.
The decision follows financial gains from portfolio measures, aligning with a 2022 shareholder mandate authorizing up to 10% share repurchase. The strategy aims to maintain shareholder distribution levels through dividends and buybacks, targeting a €12 billion return to shareholders by 2028.
Through this program, BASF seeks to enhance earnings per share and optimize its capital structure while reducing net debt. The company is committed to retaining a single A credit rating to ensure market access.
