Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, Inc. (ISIN JP3774200004) raised its treasury stock acquisition ceiling from JPY 30.0 billion to JPY 50.0 billion on October 2, 2026. According to Note, the company also increased the authorized share count from 7.50 million to 12.00 million and extended the program through March 31, 2027.

Buyback reaches JPY 50.0 billion

The expanded authorization represents 5.16 percent of issued shares excluding treasury stock, compared with 3.14 percent under the previous limit.
