The board authorization allows purchases of up to 75,000,000 shares, or 4.12 percent of outstanding shares excluding treasury stock, for a maximum cost of JPY 150.00 billion through January 29, 2027. The remaining authorization gives the program room to continue, although the October 7 notice reports completed purchases rather than a new increase in the ceiling.

Revenue growth outpaced the stock

Murata's operating picture was stronger in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027. Revenue rose 20.70 percent year over year to JPY 502.264 billion, while operating profit increased 59.80 percent to JPY 98.454 billion, according to Endou2626 in a September 21, 2026 review of the company results. The operating margin reached 19.60 percent, compared with 14.80 percent in the year-ago quarter.

Orders received reached JPY 673.869 billion in the quarter, up 56.30 percent year over year, while the order backlog rose 38.50 percent to JPY 617.774 billion against March 31, 2026. That combination points to stronger demand conversion than the revenue increase alone suggests, but Devices and Modules posted an operating loss of JPY 12.902 billion, leaving the Components segment as the main profit contributor.
