Hokuetsu Corporation ( (JP:3865) ) has issued an announcement.
Hokuetsu Corporation’s board has approved the acquisition of up to 10 million of its own shares, or about 5.92% of outstanding stock, via the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s ToSTNeT-3 system at the March 18 closing price, mainly by purchasing shares tendered by major shareholder DAIO KAIUN. The move is designed to cushion the market impact of DAIO KAIUN’s planned share sale and to improve capital efficiency as Hokuetsu and Daio Paper reinforce a mutually equal capital and strategic partnership.
Following the buyback, Hokuetsu plans to cancel all 15 million treasury shares currently held plus all shares acquired in this transaction, with cancellation scheduled for March 26, 2026. The cancellation will reduce the number of shares outstanding, potentially enhancing per-share value and consolidating Hokuetsu’s ownership structure as Daio Paper becomes a key, but capped, shareholder under a voting-rights limit below 20%.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3865) stock is a Hold with a Yen1077.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hokuetsu Corporation stock, see the JP:3865 Stock Forecast page.
