Ellaktor (GRS191213008) announced the purchase of 50,000 of its own shares for EUR 63,005.25 on October 8, 2026, while its stock was at EUR 1.26 at Lang & Schwarz, plus 0.80 percent versus the prior close. According to Euro2day on October 8, 2026, the company bought 25,000 shares on October 5 and another 25,000 on October 6 at average prices of EUR 1.2599 and EUR 1.2604.

Three dated steps and figures

On September 16, 2026, Ellaktor updated its financial calendar for the first-half report due on September 22, 2026, according to MarketScreener. The September 22 report showed first-half 2026 revenue of EUR 649.0 million, up 44.00 percent year over year, according to Investing.com. The October 8 buyback added 50,000 shares to the chronology at a total cost of EUR 63,005.25.

What does the buyback change?

Ellaktor directly held 3,696,826 treasury shares after the latest transactions, equal to 1.062 percent of its share capital, the Euro2day announcement said. That makes the transaction a measurable capital-allocation action, although its size is small compared with the company market capitalization of EUR 430.8 million as of October 8, 2026.

The operating figures provide the larger valuation context. Investing.com reported first-half 2026 pro forma EBITDA of EUR 120.0 million, up 85.00 percent year over year, while reported EBITDA reached EUR 91.0 million, up 38.00 percent. Management also reaffirmed an adjusted EBITDA target of EUR 375.0 million to EUR 425.0 million for the medium term, with 65.00 percent of the target described as secured through signed or negotiated agreements.

Growth comes with execution risk

The same first-half update put gross profit at EUR 82.0 million, up 11.00 percent year over year, and described a five-year capital spending plan of EUR 3.0 billion. The investment program increases the importance of project execution, funding discipline and the timing of contributions from concessions, renewables, liquefied natural gas and circular-economy assets.

Management said the Ellaktor and Thalis transaction should add EUR 41.0 million of EBITDA and EUR 1.0 billion of backlog, with closing expected in the first quarter of 2027 subject to regulatory approval, according to the Investing.com transcript dated September 24, 2026. The figure gives investors a concrete measure of the potential contribution, while the approval condition remains a timing factor.
