GMO Internet Group Reports No Share Buybacks in April Under Ongoing Repurchase Plan

GMO Internet ( (JP:9449) ) has shared an announcement.

GMO Internet Group has reported on the status of its ongoing share repurchase program, conducted under Article 459-1 of the Japanese Companies Act and its articles of incorporation. The initiative is part of a long-term shareholder return policy tied to buying back and cancelling approximately 38.35 million shares issued during a past capital increase related to its withdrawal from the loan credit business.

Despite board authorization in February 2026 to acquire up to 1.1 million shares, or about 1.10% of outstanding stock, for as much as JPY 2.74 billion by February 2027, the company did not repurchase any shares during the period from April 1 to April 30, 2026. The lack of purchases in April means the buyback capacity remains fully available, leaving flexibility for future capital allocation and signaling that execution timing will depend on market conditions and corporate priorities.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9449) stock is a Buy with a Yen4500.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GMO Internet stock, see the JP:9449 Stock Forecast page.
