In a move that underscores ArcelorMittal's commitment to shareholder capital returns, the company completed the first tranche of its 2025-2030 share buyback program, repurchasing 10 million shares at an average price of €49.32, according to reports. It immediately launched a second tranche of up to 10 million shares, as part of its policy to return at least 50% of post-dividend annual free cash flow.
The buyback comes as the stock trades above the average repurchase price—MT closed at $60.22 on June 30, 2026, per market data. The program signals management confidence in future cash flows, amid a steel industry focus on capital efficiency and shareholder value.
