OPAP completed its EUR 150 million share buyback on October 7, 2026, according to OPAP investor relations. OPAP stock was trading at EUR 11.66 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026 at 3:03 p.m. CEST, plus 2.10 percent versus the prior close of EUR 11.42 on October 7, 2026.
Three dated capital-return events
The company paid EUR 0.80 per share on May 4, 2026, presented its second-quarter 2026 preliminary results on August 27, 2026 while listing recurring EBITDA of EUR 837 million for fiscal 2025, and completed the EUR 150 million buyback on October 7, 2026, according to OPAP investor relations.
What does the buyback change?
The completed program gives the capital-return story a concrete EUR 150 million scale. For shareholders, the important distinction is that the buyback is separate from the interim distribution of EUR 0.20 per share, so the two measures represent different channels for returning capital.
OPAP's investor-relations page also lists EUR 2.408 billion of gross gaming revenue and EUR 112 million of growth for fiscal 2025. Those figures provide a dated operating reference alongside the newer capital-return actions, while the EUR 837 million recurring EBITDA figure shows the profitability measure used in the company's highlights.
Two dates for the interim distribution
The next dated steps are October 21, 2026, the cut-off for the EUR 0.20 per share interim distribution, and November 12, 2026, the payment date, according to OPAP investor relations. The schedule gives the capital-return announcement a defined timetable rather than leaving the distribution as a general policy statement.
