Aroundtown SA, the Luxembourg‑based real‑estate company listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange, released a capital‑market announcement on 9 February 2026 detailing the progress of its share‑buyback programme.

The cumulative average purchase price for the repurchased shares was 2.7283 EUR. The buyback commenced on 26 January 2026, a fact disclosed in a prior announcement on that date.
Context and Implications
Aroundtown SA’s share‑buyback reflects a broader strategy to optimise its capital structure and to signal confidence in the company’s valuation. With a market capitalisation of CHF 4.26 billion and a price‑earnings ratio of 3.8, the firm operates within a segment that is traditionally sensitive to liquidity conditions and regulatory changes. Recent European policy discussions—such as the German Federal Ministry of Justice’s draft tightening of rental‑market regulations—highlight a tightening of the real‑estate operating environment, particularly for residential assets. In this setting, a share‑buyback can serve as a tool to support the share price and to demonstrate resilience.
The announcement also notes that the purchases were conducted in accordance with all applicable market‑regulation requirements. While the report does not provide details on the funding source, the consistent execution over five consecutive days indicates that the company has ensured sufficient liquidity to sustain the programme.
Additional Corporate Developments
In parallel with the buyback disclosure, a brief mention appeared in Finanz‑Magazin on 9 February 2026, noting that Aroundtown SA was listed among entities involved in recent financing activities alongside EnBW and Cheplapharm. Although specific terms were not disclosed, the inclusion underscores the company’s continued engagement with capital markets and its positioning as a significant player in the European real‑estate investment landscape.
In summary, Aroundtown SA’s capital‑market communication confirms the completion of a substantial share‑buyback during early February 2026, reinforcing investor confidence amid evolving regulatory dynamics in the European real‑estate sector.
