$60.2 Million Allocated For Plus500 Share Buyback Program

Plus 500, an Israel forex and CFDs broker, once again extended its share buyback program. The broker issued an additional $60.2 million to the offer.

The programs came days after the previous stock repurchase ended. In the latest program, Plus500 will get hold of 9,959,828 ordinary shares.

“The purpose of the Share Buyback Programme is to highlight further the Board’s continued confidence in the future prospects of Plus500 and reflects its strong financial position. This confidence is supported by the significant operational and financial momentum achieved by Plus500 over recent years, as the Group continues to make further progress on its strategic roadmap,” the broker noted.

The Tuesday announcement has, however, not made a big impact on the publicly traded stock price of the broker yet. The current stocks for the broker are trading 0.78 percent higher from the announcement date.
