Vestas Wind Systems A/S repurchased 240,000 of its own shares between 26 and 31 March 2026, for a total amount of DKK 43.2 million (approximately EUR 5.8 million). The Danish wind turbine manufacturer operates in a sector with intense commercial activity: Nordex wins order for six N163 turbines at the Peckelsheim wind farm, while Hai Long installs its first wind turbine using a locally assembled nacelle in Taiwan. The weighted average purchase price for these transactions was DKK 180.16 over the week. Since the programme's launch, the company has accumulated a total of 4,480,000 shares for an aggregate value of DKK 716.1 million (approximately EUR 95.9 million). These transactions comply with European Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) No. 596/2014 and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052, known as the Safe Harbour Regulation.
A programme capped at DKK 1,120 million
Announced on 5 February 2026 through Company Announcement No. 02/2026, the programme authorises Vestas to repurchase its own shares for a maximum amount of DKK 1,120 million (approximately EUR 150 million, according to the company), no later than 5 May 2026. At the time of launch, the group already held 19,449,943 treasury shares, representing 1.9% of share capital. Since 6 February 2026, the company has thus committed DKK 716.1 million under this programme.

Prices rose steadily throughout the week: DKK 173.06 on 26 March, DKK 173.80 on 27 March, DKK 181.70 on 30 March, and DKK 192.10 on 31 March. Across the entire programme since its launch, the weighted average purchase price stands at DKK 159.84 per share, compared to DKK 180.16 for the week of 26 to 31 March alone.
