Makita Corporation ( (JP:6586) ) has provided an announcement.

Makita Corporation has reported the latest progress in its ongoing share buyback program, repurchasing 2,194,200 common shares for a total of about ¥12.0 billion between March 1 and March 31, 2026. This activity is part of a previously authorized board resolution allowing buybacks of up to 10 million shares or ¥40 billion from January 30 to May 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, Makita has cumulatively repurchased 6,278,200 shares at a total cost of approximately ¥35.9 billion under this mandate, approaching both the share and monetary ceilings set by the board.
