DHI Group shares surge 19.88% premarket after announcing $10 million stock repurchase program.

DHI Group surged 19.88% in premarket trading following the announcement of a new $10 million stock repurchase program, effective February 9, 2026, through February 8, 2027. The move, endorsed by the board and management, underscores confidence in the company’s strategic direction, durable cash flows, and disciplined capital allocation. The repurchase authorization builds on the completion of a prior $5 million buyback program in January 2026 and aligns with DHI’s focus on enhancing shareholder value. While Q4 2025 results showed a 10% revenue decline and a net loss driven by restructuring charges, the stock repurchase signal outweighed near-term financial challenges, reflecting optimism about long-term growth prospects in its AI-powered career marketplace platforms, ClearanceJobs and Dice.
