WH Smith ( (GB:SMWH) ) has provided an announcement.

This buyback, authorized by shareholders, is part of a larger initiative in which the company has repurchased over 1.4 million shares to date. The recent transaction is expected to enhance shareholder value by reducing the number of shares in circulation, thus potentially increasing earnings per share. The cancellation of these shares reflects WH Smith’s ongoing commitment to managing its capital efficiently, which could positively impact investor perceptions and market positioning.
