Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust (GB00BLDYK618) bought 500,000 of its own shares at GBp 1,616.49 on October 14, 2026. The purchase followed a portfolio update highlighting strong third-quarter performance and continued capital recycling.

Buyback leaves 1,040,026,858 shares

According to Investegate on October 14, 2026, the shares will be held in treasury. The transaction lifted treasury shares to 444,754,022 and left 1,040,026,858 shares in issue for notification calculations.

The purchase is the latest concrete capital-allocation action after the trust's managers described a portfolio that is gradually changing. The investment case remains concentrated: SpaceX represented more than 15 percent of the portfolio in the managers' September 2026 conference write-up.

What does the portfolio update show?

Scottish Mortgage reported annual share-price performance of 36.50 percent for the year to September 30, 2026, compared with 34.10 percent for net asset value. The FTSE All-World benchmark returned 17.40 percent over the same period.

The update links that performance to a broadening opportunity set around artificial intelligence, including chips, power, data centers, robotics and software. It also says capital has been recycled from winners such as SpaceX into newer investments across healthcare, defense, construction and the AI value chain.
