Treasury shares carried at CHF 319m at 30 June 2026 (CHF 388m at 31 Dec 2025) - a few million shares, not deducted from the figure above. Share count fell in 2025: the AGM of 16 April 2025 approved cancellation of 43,480,000 shares (share capital CHF 262m -> CHF 258m) after the CHF 20bn buyback completed 23 Dec 2024; no buyback is currently reducing the count, so 2,576,520,000 should be stable.
Share counts move on a filing cadence, prices move continuously — so this figure is exact only as of the two dates above, and we publish both rather than a single undated number. This company is quoted here through a depositary receipt (NSRGY), where one receipt represents 1 ordinary share; the price is put on an ordinary-share basis before it meets the share count.
