Noritsu Koki Reports Progress on Share Buyback Program

Noritsu Koki Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7744) ) has provided an update.

Noritsu Koki has disclosed the progress of its ongoing share buyback program, reporting the repurchase of 665,900 common shares for approximately ¥1.43 billion between March 1 and March 31, 2026, via market purchases under a discretionary dealing contract. As of March 31, 2026, cumulative buybacks under the February 13, 2026 board resolution totaled 716,700 shares at a cost of about ¥1.54 billion, advancing a capital policy that is likely aimed at enhancing shareholder value through more efficient balance sheet management and reduced share count.

The current authorization allows for repurchases of up to 1.6 million shares, or 1.49% of outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, with a total budget of up to ¥3 billion and a purchase window running from February 24 to June 30, 2026. The execution pace to date indicates Noritsu Koki still has considerable capacity remaining under the mandate, giving management flexibility to continue buybacks depending on market conditions and strategic capital allocation priorities, which could influence earnings per share and the company’s share liquidity profile.
