Handelsbanken buys back own shares
Repurchases for SEK 4 billion at a notional share price of SEK 110 would imply an increase of about 3 % in earnings per share calculated on a twelve-month basis, while return on equity, all else being equal, would rise by about 1.5 percentage points. Repurchases of this type are not expected to have any effect on the Bank's rating. Even after the repurchases, the Bank will have a sufficient capital base for continued growth in its operations.
