Dai-ichi Life Holdings Completes ¥100 Billion Share Buyback Program

Dai-ichi Life Holdings ( (JP:8750) ) has issued an announcement.

Dai-ichi Life Holdings has completed a share repurchase program authorized by its board in May 2025, buying back a total of 79,682,200 common shares for approximately 99.99 billion yen through open-market transactions using a discretionary trading method. The final tranche, conducted between March 1 and March 9, 2026, accounted for 7,980,700 shares at a cost of about 11.87 billion yen, within the originally approved ceiling of up to 200 million shares and 100 billion yen.

The buyback, representing up to 5.40% of outstanding shares excluding treasury stock under the initial authorization, underscores the company’s ongoing capital management efforts and potential commitment to enhancing shareholder value. By reducing the number of shares in circulation, the program may support earnings per share and capital efficiency metrics, which can be significant for investors evaluating Dai-ichi Life’s financial strength and competitiveness in Japan’s life insurance sector.
