Asahi Kasei ( (JP:3407) ) has shared an update.

Asahi Kasei announced that under the share repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors on November 5, 2025—allowing buybacks of up to 45 million shares or ¥40 billion through October 31, 2026—it did not repurchase any of its common stock during the period from January 1 to January 31, 2026, resulting in a cumulative buyback of zero shares and zero yen as of January 31. The absence of buybacks so far indicates that the company has not yet deployed this capital allocation tool despite having substantial authorization in place, leaving potential future repurchases and share cancellations as an unrealized lever for shareholder returns and capital structure management.
