StoneX Approves New Share Repurchase Program for 2026

StoneX Group Inc., the financial services firm that owns retail trading platforms FOREX.com and City Index, has authorized a new share repurchase program for fiscal year 2026. The company's board of directors approved the plan, which allows for the repurchase of up to 2.25 million shares of its outstanding common stock between 1 October 2025 and 30 September 2026.

The program gives StoneX's senior management team the discretion to repurchase shares either through open market purchases or private transactions. Decisions will be made based on market conditions and in compliance with securities laws, regulatory standards, and contractual obligations.

The new authorization will take effect once the current repurchase program, approved on 28 August 2024, expires on 30 September 2025. That program had authorized the buyback of up to 1.5 million shares.

Stock repurchase programs are often used by companies to return value to shareholders, reduce the number of outstanding shares, and potentially boost earnings per share. While StoneX has not provided specific reasoning beyond its standard practice, the expanded authorization suggests confidence in the firm's long-term financial outlook.

StoneX Group provides financial services across trading, execution, and market intelligence, with operations spanning institutional, commercial, and retail markets worldwide. Its retail brands FOREX.com and City Index serve individual investors in the forex and CFD markets.
