Komatsu Begins ¥100 Billion Share Buyback With Initial ¥7 Billion Repurchase

The latest announcement is out from Komatsu Ltd. ( (JP:6301) ).

Komatsu has disclosed the first results of its latest share buyback program, repurchasing 1,070,000 shares of common stock for approximately 7.05 billion yen on April 30, 2026, through market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
