ITV (ISIN GB0033986497) repurchased 102.4 million shares since its buyback began in July, according to an October 19 filing carried by Investegate. The scale of the program makes capital allocation the central stock question.

Buyback leaves a large share base

The same filing said ITV bought 7,209,216 ordinary shares between October 12 and October 16, 2026. The purchases were made at weighted average prices from GBp 64.73 to GBp 66.68, while the company held 167,879,539 shares in treasury after the transactions.

ITV had 3,690,788,957 ordinary shares in issue excluding treasury shares. That figure gives investors a concrete measure of the remaining equity base as the repurchase program continues.

What does the buyback change?

The chronology shows how the capital action developed. ITV announced the program on July 31, 2026, disclosed a 550,000-share director transfer on October 6, 2026 through Investor Meet Company, and reported the latest purchases on October 19, 2026. The sequence puts the emphasis on execution rather than a single market-day reaction.
