The facts
The authorised ceiling is 25 million common shares, equivalent to 1.1% of outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, with a maximum cost of ¥150 billion. [1][2]
The planned repurchase period is 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027, using Tokyo Stock Exchange market purchases. The company says market conditions could result in only part, or none, of the programme being executed. [1][2]
For April–September 2026, sales were ¥1.667455 trillion, up 41.3% year on year, and profit attributable to owners was ¥376.929 billion, up 56.0%. These are six-month totals, not the July–September quarter alone. [1]
The company forecasts full-year operating income of ¥1.169 trillion and profit attributable to owners of ¥865 billion for the year ending 31 March 2027. The figures are forecasts under Japanese GAAP, not completed annual results. [1]
