The latest update is out from Ushio ( (JP:6925) ).

Ushio Inc. reported progress on its ongoing share repurchase program, disclosing that it bought 623,800 common shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange between March 1 and March 31, 2026, for a total of ¥1,810,882,150. These purchases are part of a previously approved buyback framework that allows up to 15 million shares, or 17.04% of issued shares excluding treasury stock, to be acquired for as much as ¥20 billion through April 30, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026, the company has cumulatively repurchased 8,219,400 shares for ¥18,520,557,700 under this mandate, indicating it is close to the authorized monetary ceiling while still having capacity in terms of share volume. The sizable buyback underscores management’s focus on shareholder returns and capital efficiency, and could support Ushio’s share price and earnings per share by reducing the free float and total shares outstanding if the repurchased stock is retired or held as treasury shares.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:6925) stock is a Hold with a Yen3000.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Ushio stock, see the JP:6925 Stock Forecast page.
