Gaming and technology giant Aristocrat Leisure (ASX:ALL) has announced an expansion of its on-market share buyback program, increasing the total value to $1.5 billion as part of its ongoing capital management strategy.
The board approved the extension after $701.1 million of shares were repurchased since February 2025, allowing an additional $750 million to be bought back over the next 12 months, ending March 5, 2027.
The company said the program will continue on an opportunistic basis, with the flexibility to vary, suspend, or terminate the buyback at any time.
"With the $750 million on-market share buyback program previously announced in February 2025 nearing completion, we are able to continue to pursue a mix of returns to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks while also investing in strategic acquisitions and organic growth initiatives," said Aristocrat CEO Trevor Croker.
