Safran Initiates Share Buyback for Cancellation

On January 13, 2026, Safran announced an agreement with an investment services provider to embark on a share buyback for cancellation. The plan involves repurchasing shares worth up to €500 million, with the process set to run from January 14 to April 14, 2026. This step aligns with a larger €5 billion buyback initiative covering 2025 to 2028, with €1.4 billion already executed in 2025.

This development follows the May 2025 shareholders' approval authorizing such buybacks. Safran, an international high-technology group, is focused on aviation, defense, and space, and strives to promote sustainable air transport. With 100,000 employees worldwide and 2024 sales reaching €27.3 billion, Safran holds leadership positions in its markets and is part of the CAC 40 and Euro Stoxx 50 indices.
