Mizuho Financial Group Launches ¥100 Billion Share Buyback and Cancellation Plan

Mizuho Financial Group ( (JP:8411) ) has shared an update.

Mizuho Financial Group has approved a new share repurchase and cancellation program as part of its ongoing capital policy to balance capital strength, growth investment and shareholder returns. The move aligns with its strategy of progressively increasing dividends while conducting flexible, intermittent buybacks guided by a total payout ratio of 50% or more.

The board authorized the buyback of up to 25 million shares, equivalent to about 1.0% of shares outstanding excluding treasury stock, for a total cost of up to ¥100 billion between May 18 and August 31, 2026. All repurchased shares are scheduled to be cancelled on September 24, 2026, a step that will reduce the share count and is likely to enhance per-share metrics and support shareholder value.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8411) stock is a Buy with a Yen9510.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mizuho Financial Group stock, see the JP:8411 Stock Forecast page.
