Adcoco Group Completes Share Consolidation Process
The Adecco Group, a global leader in talent advisory and solutions, has recently posted strong earnings for the quarter ended May 8, 2025. The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $0.25, surpassing analysts' expectations of $0.18, and generating revenues of $6.34 billion, exceeding the anticipated $5.49 billion [1].
Based on the latest financial update, the Adecco Group's market capitalization stands at approximately $5.29 billion as of July 15, 2025 [1]. However, specific details about the exact number of shares bought back or the post-buyback share capital figure have not been disclosed.
In April 2022, the Annual General Meeting approved the cancellation of treasury shares acquired under the 2021 share buyback programme and the corresponding reduction of the company's share capital. Following this action, the share capital of Adecco Group AG now amounts to CHF 16,842,656.10, divided into 168,426,561 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 0.10 each [2].
The capital reduction was registered with the Commercial Register on June 22, 2022, and was subsequently published in the Swiss Official Gazette of Commerce [2].
The Adecco Group, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, employs 38,000 people and operates in around 60 countries, enabling more than 3.5 million careers worldwide [3]. The company's stock is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange under the ticker symbol ADEN [3].
Financially, Adecco has faced challenges with a declining return on capital employed (ROCE), which has dropped to about 10%, below the professional services industry average [3]. The company has taken measures such as cutting its dividend in April 2025 to €1.00 per share to address its rising debt burden and conserve cash flow [3].
For the precise updated share capital figures after the buyback and capital reduction, it would be necessary to consult Adecco's official financial statements or shareholder communications released post-buyback, which are not contained in the current search data.
