Plus500 (LON: PLUS) has announced it will kick off its new share buyback programme to repurchase $90 million worth of its shares today (Monday) after the completion of its ongoing $110 million buyback programme.

Returning Value to Shareholders

The Israeli broker highlighted that the new buyback is part of its $165 million return to shareholders, announced in its latest financials for the first six months of 2025. The other $75 million will be distributed as dividends.

In H1, Plus500 generated $209.3 million in revenue with an EBITDA of $91.3 million. Customer deposits on the platform also jumped to $3.1 billion, a record for the company.

“Today's announcement is consistent with Plus500's disciplined capital allocation framework and reflects the Group's robust financial position, cash-generative business model, and the Board's ongoing confidence in the Group's ability to deliver strong shareholder returns over the medium term,” the announcement about the latest buyback noted.

Meanwhile, Plus500 is a cash-rich company as it has maintained a healthy level of cash reserves. At the end of June, its balance sheet showed around $900 million in cash, which the company aims to use “to pursue organic and inorganic growth initiatives, while delivering attractive and sustainable shareholder returns.”

Under the latest buyback programme, the London-listed company is entitled to repurchase up to 5,868,129 shares. The programme will last until 31 March 2026.

CFDs Brokers and Sharebuybacks

Plus500 went public on the London Stock Exchange in July 2013 and launched its first buyback programme in 2017. Since then, the company has authorised share buybacks worth about $925 million, thus reducing its share capital.

However, Plus500 is not the only CFD broker to focus on share buybacks. The other two London-listed CFD brokers—IG Group and CMC Markets—have also run buyback programmes. Recently, IG revealed that it will add £50 million to its existing £150 million buyback programme, which launched last year.
