Porr (ISIN AT0000609607) was trading at EUR 30.35 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. CEST. On October 8, 2026, the company approved a buyback of up to EUR 15.0 million, covering 392,782 shares, and Porr stock trades at EUR 30.35 in the same session.

Buyback starts October 14

According to TradingView on October 8, 2026, the program will run from October 14, 2026, to March 31, 2027. It covers up to 392,782 shares, equal to 1.00 percent of share capital, with a maximum purchase price of EUR 15.0 million.

The purchases will take place through the Vienna Stock Exchange and multilateral trading facilities. The maximum price may stand 10.00 percent above the average unweighted closing price of the preceding ten trading days, while a credit institution will determine the purchase timing independently.

What does the buyback change?

The scale is material enough to define a clear capital-allocation signal but small enough to leave the operating outlook as the main valuation driver. The 1.00 percent share limit also means the program is primarily a capital-return measure rather than a major change to the share count.

First-half EBIT rises

In the half year of 2026, EBIT rose 15.60 percent to EUR 56.30 million and the EBIT margin reached 1.90 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. Earnings per share increased 34.00 percent to EUR 0.71, while a EUR 6.40 million gain from selling business premises and EUR 7.40 million of depreciation related to the expected PWW Group sale affected the result.

Management expects full-year 2026 output and revenue to rise 2.00 percent to 4.00 percent, with an EBIT margin of 3.20 percent to 3.30 percent. Civil engineering revenue increased 7.20 percent in the first half of 2026, while building construction revenue fell 2.60 percent after the long winter, creating a quantified split in the recovery story.
