BHP Billiton (ASX:BHP) may complete its $9.53 billion share buyback program as early as this week.
The company flagged in February that it was set to complete its buyback of Australian and London-listed shares by the end of the calendar year, but investor relations meetings in London reported on by Fairfax Media suggest the company is on track to complete the buybacks much sooner.
BHP (ASX:BHP) reported a net profit of $10.5 billion in the second half of last year.
