DHI Group shares surge 31.33% premarket after announcing $10 million stock repurchase program.

DHI Group (DHX) surged 31.33% in premarket trading following the announcement of a new $10 million stock repurchase program, signaling management’s confidence in the company’s long-term outlook and valuations. The program, effective February 2026 through February 2027, builds on prior buybacks and aligns with improved fourth-quarter financials, including a 30% adjusted EBITDA margin and $5.7 million in free cash flow. CEO Art Zeile and CFO Greg Schippers highlighted ClearanceJobs’ return to bookings growth and optimism around defense spending tailwinds, reinforcing the bullish message. While full-year 2025 revenue fell 10%, the share repurchase authorization and disciplined capital allocation strategy directly drove the premarket rally, as investors interpreted the move as a vote of confidence in the company’s durable cash flows and strategic direction.
