Nippon Telegraph stock (ISIN JP3735400008) was last at JPY 170.10 on TSE Prime on October 6, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. JST, up 0.06 percent from the prior close. The latest capital-return data show that NTT had repurchased 491,571,000 shares for JPY 77,588,530,910 as of September 30, 2026.

Buyback reaches 491.6 million shares

According to NTT in its October 1, 2026 release, September purchases covered 94,237,900 shares for JPY 16,460,974,290. The board authorization allows purchases of up to 1.4 billion shares and JPY 200 billion through March 31, 2027.

The cumulative total therefore represents 35.1 percent of the authorized share volume and 38.8 percent of the authorized yen amount. That gives the repurchase program a measurable capital-allocation dimension while the stock remains 5.55 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 180.10.

Q1 revenue rises 10.9 percent

A September 28 analysis citing NTT's August 6, 2026 results reported operating revenue of JPY 3.6177 trillion for Q1 FY2026, up 10.9 percent from the prior-year quarter. Operating profit increased 4.9 percent to JPY 425.1 billion, while net profit rose 5.8 percent to JPY 274.8 billion, according to note.com.

The comparison matters because revenue growth exceeded operating-profit growth by 6.0 percentage points. NTT's Q1 operating margin was 11.75 percent, based on the reported revenue and operating-profit figures, compared with 12.42 percent in the prior-year quarter cited in the same analysis.

Next results date is November 4

NTT's investor-relations calendar lists November 4, 2026, as the scheduled announcement date for financial results covering the six months ended September 30, 2026, NTT states. That report will show whether the Q1 revenue expansion continued through the second quarter.

Analyst context is also constructive but more demanding at the current level. The Globe and Mail reported a Buy rating and a JPY 191.00 price target for NTT; compared with JPY 170.10, the target stands 12.28 percent above the October 6 price, The Globe and Mail reported.

NTT stock remains below its yearly high

Nippon Telegraph stock had a market capitalization of JPY 13.9 trillion and volume of 124,008,700 shares on October 6, 2026. The combination of Q1 growth, an active buyback and the November reporting date gives investors three concrete measures for assessing the next phase of the stock.
