Hunting stock is tied to a buyback that covered 66,500 ordinary shares between October 12 and October 16, 2026. Investegate reported on October 19, 2026 that Hunting intends to cancel the shares, leaving 151,485,623 ordinary shares in issue.

Buyback lowers the share count

The latest tranche was acquired at a volume-weighted average price of GBp 406.36, with transactions ranging from GBp 397.00 to GBp 412.50. The reduced share count gives investors a new denominator for voting-rights disclosures and modestly lowers the number of shares against which future earnings are measured.

Hunting's interim dividend also provides a dated capital-return marker. TradingView reported on October 16, 2026 that the company set the sterling payment at 5.2818 pence per share for October 30, 2026, following the previously declared USD 0.07 dividend.

What does the interim report show?

Hunting's results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 included revenue of USD 497.0 million, compared with a USD 464.95 million estimate, and earnings per share of USD 0.15 against a USD 0.15 estimate. Investing.com lists the figures for the August 21, 2026 reporting update, while Hunting identifies the period as the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Three dated steps for shareholders

On October 7, 2025, Hunting said it was executing a USD 20.0 million OCTG contract for offshore Guyana. On August 21, 2026, its interim results included the USD 0.07 dividend declaration. The October 19, 2026 buyback announcement is the latest of the three events.

Next dates are October 28 and 30

Hunting's financial calendar lists a trading statement for October 28, 2026 and the interim dividend payment for October 30, 2026. Hunting says the calendar dates remain subject to change and confirmation.
