Kokuyo Co ( (JP:7984) ) has provided an update.

Kokuyo Co., Ltd. has approved a share buyback program under Japan’s Companies Act as part of its medium-term plan, Unite for Growth 2027, which emphasizes both long-term business expansion and improved capital efficiency. The repurchase is positioned as a key element of its pledged ¥35 billion shareholder return program and is intended to support liquidity in the company’s stock while signaling management’s confidence in its valuation.

The board authorized the acquisition of up to 20 million common shares, representing about 4.6% of outstanding stock, for a total amount not exceeding ¥15 billion. The buybacks will be conducted through open-market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange between April 16 and December 31, 2026, a move that could tighten the share float, potentially support the share price, and alter the balance between outstanding and treasury shares for existing investors.
