Ericsson repurchases 2.5 million Class B shares in mid-August

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Buybacks reduce share count, potentially raise EPS and ADR per-share value. The weekly 2.5M buybacks are modest relative to 3.37B outstanding, so the impact is incremental; currency and broader telecom trends also influence ERIXFn.
