Diversified Energy repurchased 129,323 shares at $13.98 average price as part of ongoing buyback program, reducing outstanding shares to 77.56M.
Diversified Energy Company’s latest share repurchase represents a continuation of their buyback program announced in March 2025. The company purchased 129,323 shares at a volume-weighted average price of $13.98 per share, with prices ranging from $13.85 to $14.10. This transaction demonstrates management’s ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders while potentially enhancing earnings per share metrics.
The repurchased shares will be cancelled, reducing Diversified’s total outstanding share count to 77,563,402 ordinary shares. This 0.17% reduction in share count, while modest in size, contributes to the cumulative impact of the company’s broader buyback strategy initiated earlier this year. Share repurchases typically signal management’s confidence in the company’s financial health and their belief that shares represent good value at current trading levels.
For existing shareholders, this buyback increases their proportional ownership stake in the company without requiring any action on their part. The repurchase was executed across multiple trading venues with the majority (62.7%) conducted through IEXG. The comprehensive disclosure of individual trades demonstrates regulatory compliance with market abuse regulations and transparency requirements for public companies engaging in share repurchases.

DIVERSIFIED ENERGY COMPANY PLC
(“Diversified”, or the “Company”)
DIVERSIFIED ENERGY COMPANY PLC (LSE:DEC, NYSE:DEC) announced on September 22, 2025, the execution of a share buyback program, a move often interpreted by analysts as a signal of management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value and future performance. The company repurchased 129,323 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of $13.9757 per share through Mizuho Securities USA LLC (MSUSA). These shares, acquired under the terms of the share buyback program initiated on March 20, 2025, are slated for cancellation.
This buyback occurs amid a complex energy landscape, where companies are navigating fluctuating commodity prices, increasing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) pressures, and the transition towards cleaner energy sources. Diversified Energy, primarily focused on natural gas and liquids production, has emphasized its commitment to responsible asset management, including well retirement and environmental stewardship.
The repurchase, while representing a relatively small percentage of total outstanding shares, demonstrates capital discipline and a strategic allocation of resources. Share buybacks can effectively reduce the number of outstanding shares, potentially boosting earnings per share (EPS) and improving shareholder value. The specific impact on Diversified Energy’s financials will depend on various factors, including the company’s profitability, overall market conditions, and future buyback activity.
Following the cancellation of these shares, Diversified’s total outstanding ordinary shares will stand at 77,563,402. This adjusted share count becomes a crucial figure for shareholders in assessing their ownership stake and compliance with regulatory disclosure requirements.
