- SECOM completed a 9,761,600-share repurchase by September 30, 2026.
- Simply Wall St cited a 23.9 times earnings valuation on October 15, 2026.
- Second-quarter earnings are scheduled for November 11, 2026.
Secom completed a JPY 63.28 billion buyback covering 9,761,600 shares by September 30, 2026, while Secom stock was valued at 23.9 times earnings in an October 15, 2026 assessment by Simply Wall St. The capital-return program is now the clearest company-specific theme for the stock.
Buyback reaches 9,761,600 shares
Japan IR reported on October 1, 2026, that Secom bought 1,760,500 shares for JPY 11,241,148,514 during September. The cumulative total reached 9,761,600 shares for JPY 63,279,436,073, against an authorized ceiling of 23,000,000 shares.
The completed purchases equal 2.43 percent of outstanding equity, according to Yahoo Finance. That comparison matters because the repurchase reduced the share count while the company continues to operate across security, fire protection, medical, insurance, geospatial information, and business-process services.
What does the valuation imply?
Simply Wall St placed Secom at a 23.9 times price-to-earnings ratio on October 15, 2026, versus a 13.6 times Japanese commercial-services industry average and a 16.8 times peer average. The comparison points to a premium valuation rather than a pure buyback story.
Three buyback dates in sequence
On May 12, 2026, Secom approved a buyback ceiling of 23,000,000 shares; on September 30, 2026, cumulative purchases reached 9,761,600 shares and JPY 63,279,436,073; on October 1, 2026, the company disclosed the September purchase of 1,760,500 shares for JPY 11,241,148,514, as reported by Japan IR.
When are the next results due?
SECOM lists November 11, 2026, for the consolidated second-quarter earnings announcement for fiscal year 2027. That date gives investors the next quantified test of whether capital returns are being matched by operating progress.
