Unicharm Sets ToSTNeT-3 Buyback Tranche Within ¥19 Billion Share Repurchase Plan

Unicharm ( (JP:8113) ) just unveiled an update.

Unicharm has approved a specific tranche of its previously announced share buyback, opting to repurchase up to 7.35 million shares of common stock, or about 0.42% of its outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, via the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s ToSTNeT-3 off-auction system. The purchases, capped at roughly ¥7.5 billion at a fixed price of ¥1,020 per share, are scheduled for execution at the market opening on February 17, 2026, and form part of a broader buyback program of up to 30 million shares and ¥19 billion through December 2026.

The move underscores Unicharm’s continued emphasis on capital efficiency and shareholder returns, using a concentrated off-auction transaction to swiftly retire shares without prolonged market impact. While the company notes that market conditions could limit the actual volume acquired, the buyback framework signals confidence in its financial position and may provide incremental support to earnings per share and share price over the medium term.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8113) stock is a Buy with a Yen1006.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Unicharm stock, see the JP:8113 Stock Forecast page.
