Watches of Switzerland Group PLC - Leicester, England-based watch retailer - Launches GBP25 million share buyback programme on Monday. The buyback will be conducted by Barclays Bank PLC and be completed December 3. Watches of Switzerland doesn't pay a dividend. It says it prioritises "investment for growth through showroom elevation, new projects and acquisitions" ahead of shareholder returns; however, it notes that, following a debt refinancing in December, it has GBP50 million liquidity headroom on its bank facility and surplus capital.
In a trading update last week, Watches of Switzerland said it remains on track to deliver prior guidance for financial 2025, after strong third-quarter demand in both the UK and the US. The retailer said it enjoyed "good" trading during the three months that ended January 26.
