JEOL Ltd. ( (JP:6951) ) has issued an update.

JEOL’s board has approved a share repurchase via a tender offer for its own shares as part of its capital policy to enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency, complementing its existing dividend policy that targeted a 30% payout ratio and delivered interim and year-end dividends for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. The move is also a response to Nikon Corporation’s decision to sell its entire 4.49% stake in JEOL in order to boost Nikon’s own asset efficiency and financial position, with JEOL opting to absorb these shares through a structured buyback while maintaining the existing business alliance that dates back to their 2014 capital and business partnership and associated third-party share allotment.
