According to Finam, the report on the progress of the buyback program states 2.1 million shares acquired from July 1 through October 27 inclusive. Other parameters of the program are not disclosed in the available materials.
Vedomosti's headline mentions a buyback of more than 638,000 shares under the buyback program, but the text of the article itself deals only with financial results. Therefore, this figure cannot be related to the total volume of the buyback based on the available data.
In the third quarter of 2026, Yandex's revenue rose 12% to 411 billion rubles, and adjusted EBITDA also gained 12%, to 88 billion rubles. Over nine months, revenue increased 16% to 1.17 trillion rubles.
The buyback reduces the number of shares in free float and may create additional demand for the stock. However, given its modest scale, no noticeable support for the price should be expected.
