ISS stock fell 1.02 percent to DKK 290.20 on Nasdaq Copenhagen on September 28, 2026, with 180,502 shares traded. The move came as the facility services group continued a buyback program capped at DKK 3.1 billion.

Buyback reaches DKK 1.70 billion

According to Yahoo Finance on September 28, 2026, ISS repurchased 242,000 shares between September 21 and September 25. The accumulated program total reached 6,495,702 shares at an average purchase price of DKK 262.36 and a transaction value of DKK 1.70 billion.

Growth targets reset the benchmark

ISS announced on September 13, 2026, that it targets average annual organic growth above 5 percent for 2026 through 2028. The company also targets an operating margin of 5.5 to 6.0 percent in 2028 and cash conversion above 60 percent.

The strategy builds on H1 2026 revenue of DKK 44.7 billion, up 7.4 percent year over year, while organic growth reached 8.2 percent. The H1 update also cited a 95 percent global client retention rate and upgraded 2026 guidance for organic growth above 6 percent, operating margin above 5 percent and free cash flow above DKK 3.1 billion, according to ISS.

Analysts see upside to DKK 370

On September 16, 2026, Berenberg raised its ISS price target from DKK 350 to DKK 370 and reiterated its buy rating, as reported by MarketScreener. The new target stands 27.51 percent above the September 28 price of DKK 290.20, putting execution against the margin plan at the center of the valuation case.

MarketScreener also lists November 4, 2026, as the date for ISS sales and revenue release covering the third quarter. That event gives investors the next quantified test of whether the 2026 guidance remains supported by operating performance.
