Sage Group plc, the Newcastle-based FTSE 100 global software company, said on Monday it is commencing a share buyback programme of up to £300 million.

“The programme will run from 2 March 2026 and is expected to end no later than 5 June 2026,” said Sage.

“The share buyback programme is consistent with the group’s disciplined capital allocation policy, and reflects the board’s confidence in Sage’s future prospects, together with Sage’s strong cash generation and robust financial position.

“Sage continues to have considerable financial flexibility to drive the execution of its growth strategy.”
