The repurchase provides a concrete capital-allocation signal before the next operating update, but the disclosed daily volumes remain a small part of the listed bank's market activity. The company said the purchases were made under a shareholder resolution dated March 26, 2025, with LHV Pank acting as the authorized agent. LHV Group also said its banking services reached more than 514,000 customers, while its second-pillar pension funds had 105,000 active customers, according to the same company announcement.
