Metaplanet Leaves February Buyback Activity at Zero Despite Large Repurchase Mandate

Metaplanet KK ( (JP:3350) ) has provided an update.

Metaplanet Inc. reported that under its current share repurchase program, authorized by the board in October 2025, it bought back no shares during the period from February 1 to February 28, 2026, resulting in zero yen spent on acquisitions via market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Despite this inactivity in February, the company still maintains a sizeable buyback authorization of up to 150 million common shares, or 13.13% of its outstanding stock excluding treasury shares, with a budget of about ¥75 billion through October 28, 2026, signaling ongoing capacity for capital return and potential impact on share liquidity and ownership structure.

As of February 28, 2026, Metaplanet’s total issued shares excluding treasury shares stood at 1,166,776,726, while treasury shares held amounted to 26,614, underscoring that the large repurchase capacity remains largely unused to date. The absence of repurchases in the latest month may indicate a cautious stance on valuation or market conditions, but the still-intact mandate leaves flexibility for future buybacks that could influence earnings per share and shareholder returns.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3350) stock is a Hold with a Yen308.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Metaplanet KK stock, see the JP:3350 Stock Forecast page.
