Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, Inc. (9042) said on Oct. 2, 2026 it raised the ceiling on its share buyback to ¥50.0 billion from ¥30.0 billion and extended the purchase period to March 31, 2027, after completing the original program early.
The company's board resolved on May 15, 2026 to buy back up to 7.5 million shares, or ¥30.0 billion, through market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. As disclosed on July 16, 2026, that program was completed early: by July 15, 2026 the company had acquired 6,547,800 shares for a total of ¥29,999,877,300.
The changes approved by the board on Oct. 2 are as follows:
| Item | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum shares | 7.5 million (3.14%) | 12 million (5.16%) |
| Maximum amount | ¥30.0 billion | ¥50.0 billion |
| Purchase period | May 18-Oct. 29, 2026 | May 18, 2026-Mar. 31, 2027 |
Percentages are of total shares outstanding excluding treasury stock. The purchase method remains market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
The group's basic policy, while maintaining financial soundness, is to achieve a cumulative total shareholder return ratio of 50% or more over the six fiscal years from fiscal 2025 to fiscal 2030. The company said the larger cap and longer period are intended to further enhance shareholder returns and improve capital efficiency.
As of Aug. 31, 2026, Hankyu Hanshin had 232,362,319 shares outstanding excluding treasury stock and held 19,135,915 treasury shares. Shares held by an executive compensation BIP trust are not included in treasury stock.
The extended purchase period runs through March 31, 2027. The company said it will decide the timing and execution of purchases flexibly within the period, taking into account market conditions, legal restrictions and other factors.
