KDDI reported JPY 5.40 billion in share repurchases for September 2026, while KDDI stock was EUR 16.28 at Lang & Schwarz on October 9, 2026, down 1.99 percent from the EUR 16.61 prior close. The repurchase disclosure was dated October 6, 2026, and covered 1,788,700 shares.
Buyback reaches JPY 266.68 billion
According to KDDI Newsroom on October 6, 2026, the company had repurchased 113,261,239 shares for JPY 266.68 billion as of September 30, 2026. The board-approved program allows up to 146 million shares and JPY 300.00 billion through January 31, 2027.
The September transaction therefore represented 1,788,700 shares and JPY 5.40 billion of the broader program. That scale gives the capital-return policy a measurable role alongside KDDI's operating expansion.
Three milestones shape the stock
On August 7, 2026, KDDI reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue growth of 5.10 percent, adjusted operating income growth of 21.00 percent and adjusted net profit growth of 21.60 percent, according to Parqet.
