The latest announcement is out from Asahi Kasei ( (JP:3407) ).

Asahi Kasei reported that it repurchased no shares of its common stock in February 2026 under the share buyback program authorized by its Board in November 2025. The company confirmed that, as of February 28, 2026, cumulative repurchases under this authorization remain at zero shares and zero yen in value.

The existing resolution permits Asahi Kasei to buy back up to 45 million shares, or 3.31% of issued shares excluding treasury stock, for a maximum of ¥40 billion by October 31, 2026. While the company still has significant unused capacity for repurchases, the absence of activity to date suggests it is timing or reassessing execution of the buyback, which may influence investor expectations around capital returns.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3407) stock is a Buy with a Yen1870.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Asahi Kasei stock, see the JP:3407 Stock Forecast page.
