Published on 10/08/2026 at 03:28 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWSChiba Bank (ISIN JP3511800009) was trading at JPY 2,748.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026 at 10:11 a.m. JST, down 1.79 percent from the prior close of JPY 2,798.50. The share price was 5.09 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 2,896.
Buyback advances through September
The Chiba Bank reported on October 5, 2026, that it acquired 1,966,200 common shares for JPY 5,417,896,050 between September 1 and September 30.
The cumulative total reached 4,414,000 shares for JPY 12,155,925,000. The program allows purchases of up to 10 million shares and JPY 15.0 billion through October 30, 2026, leaving 5,586,000 shares and JPY 2,844,075,000 under the approved limits.
Fiscal 2026 earnings set a higher base
According to Paasa, Chiba Bank reported JPY 94.1 billion in net income for fiscal 2026, compared with JPY 74.3 billion in fiscal 2025. That represents a 26.7 percent increase on the figures published for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025.
Fiscal 2026 earnings per share stood at JPY 133.75, versus JPY 104.17 a year earlier. The earnings comparison gives the buyback a clear financial context, because the repurchase reduces the share count while the bank enters the next reporting cycle from a higher profit base.
Analysts see further upside
Markets Insider reported on October 1, 2026, that UBS maintained a Buy rating and a JPY 3,800 price target. The same report put the analyst consensus at Strong Buy with a JPY 3,299.29 target, which lies 20.0 percent above the October 8 price.
The next earnings date is listed as November 6, 2026, by InvestPane. That date gives the market a defined checkpoint after the buyback period ends.
