International Public Partnerships Ltd on Friday said the UK government’s focus on critical infrastructure supported a positive outlook, as it announced an extension to its share buyback programme. The London-based global infrastructure investor said its ‘high-quality’ portfolio of over 130 infrastructure projects and business continued to perform well between July 1 and Friday, as it maintains availability levels that remain at or above target levels. International PPL reiterated its commitment to capital allocation, announcing that its share buyback programme of up to £200 million has been increased to up to £225 million and extended to the end of March 2027, when it was initially set to end in late March 2026. Chair Mike Gerrard said: ‘We remain focused on delivering sustainable, long-term value for shareholders through disciplined capital management and active portfolio optimisation. Sizewell C, which reached financial close in November, demonstrates our commitment to realising value from maturing assets and redeploying capital into high-quality infrastructure investments that enhance the portfolio’s performance and resilience, offer higher returns, and strengthen alignment with strategic objectives.’ Sizewell C is a nuclear power station project in Suffolk, England. Looking ahead, International PPL said: ‘The ongoing government focus on critical infrastructure and asset valuations in the secondary market for the types of projects and businesses which the company holds supports a positive outlook.’ INPP shares were up 1.2% to 126.65 pence each on Friday morning in London.
