The latest update is out from Takashimaya Company ( (JP:8233) ).

Takashimaya’s board has approved a tender offer to purchase the entire ¥60 billion outstanding issue of its zero coupon convertible bonds due 2028 and subsequently cancel them, aiming to execute large-scale shareholder returns more quickly while eliminating future dilution risk now that the share price is trading above the bonds’ conversion price. In connection with this move, the company has decided to postpone a previously scheduled cancellation of treasury shares acquired through buybacks, and it warns that the difference between the purchase price and book value of the bonds will be recorded as an extraordinary loss that could reduce profit attributable to owners of parent and non‑consolidated net profit by roughly 70% of that loss, with earnings forecasts to be revised once the final figures are known.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8233) stock is a Hold with a Yen1708.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Takashimaya Company stock, see the JP:8233 Stock Forecast page.
