Japan Post Bank Co ( (JP:7182) ) has issued an update.

Japan Post Bank’s board has approved a new share repurchase program of up to 23 million common shares, or about 0.6% of shares outstanding, with an aggregate purchase price ceiling of ¥30 billion. The buyback, to be executed between December 24, 2025 and March 24, 2026 via both off-auction trades on the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s ToSTNeT-3 system and open-market purchases under discretionary mandates, is intended to improve capital efficiency and enhance shareholder returns in line with the bank’s mid-term management plan. The program is structured to keep the voting rights held by parent company Japan Post Holdings at roughly 50% or less, with the parent planning to tender a portion of its stake in off-auction transactions so that general shareholders and the parent are treated broadly in balance, and the bank notes the buyback may be scaled back or not executed if market disruptions erode its distributable amounts before the fiscal year-end.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7182) stock is a Hold with a Yen1875.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Japan Post Bank Co stock, see the JP:7182 Stock Forecast page.
