Hoya Reports Progress on ¥100 Billion Share Buyback Program

HOYA ( (JP:7741) ) has provided an announcement.

Hoya Corporation has disclosed the latest progress of its ongoing share buyback program authorized by its board on January 30, 2026, under which it is allowed to repurchase up to 5 million shares for a maximum of ¥100 billion through mid-July. Between February 2 and February 28, the company bought back 1,303,200 shares of common stock via market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange for approximately ¥35.97 billion, signaling continued capital return to shareholders and potential support for its share price and capital efficiency metrics.

The accumulated repurchases to the end of February fully match the latest monthly execution figures, indicating that just over a quarter of the authorized monetary amount has been deployed so far while significant capacity remains for further buybacks. This staged execution suggests Hoya is pacing its purchases over the authorized period, which may give the company flexibility to respond to market conditions and underscores its ongoing focus on shareholder returns alongside its broader strategic and operational priorities.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7741) stock is a Buy with a Yen33513.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on HOYA stock, see the JP:7741 Stock Forecast page.
