Published on 10/08/2026 at 06:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. (ISIN JP3787000003) reported 978,000 repurchased shares worth JPY 5.591154 billion for the period from September 1 through September 30, 2026. The disclosure gives investors a concrete measure of the companys capital-return program ahead of its next quarterly report.
Buyback reaches 5.3869 million shares
According to Hitachi Construction Machinery on October 2, 2026, cumulative repurchases reached 5,386,900 shares and JPY 30.567188 billion by September 30. The program allows purchases of up to 6,420,000 shares and JPY 34.0 billion through November 30, 2026.
The latest monthly purchase therefore represents 15.2 percent of the authorized share count and 16.4 percent of the authorized amount. The company said the purchases are being made on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under a discretionary transaction contract.
Q1 revenue rises 7.5 percent
Hitachi Construction Machinerys operating picture also provides a counterweight to the current market move. Simply Wall St reported that fiscal Q1 2027 revenue rose 7.5 percent year over year to JPY 329.1 billion, while net income increased 149 percent to JPY 28.0 billion.
The same quarter produced an 8.5 percent profit margin, compared with 3.7 percent in fiscal Q1 2026, while earnings per share rose to JPY 132 from JPY 53.03. These figures are periodized to the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and are the latest reported interim figures cited in the reviewed financial coverage.
Analyst view stays cautious
As Markets Insider reported on October 4, 2026, Goldman Sachs reinstated coverage with a Sell rating and a JPY 5,000 price target. The bank cited shortfalls in its expectations for Hitachi Construction Machinerys mining-equipment expansion and US construction-machinery business.
The contrast is material: the buyback is progressing toward its maximum, while the latest quarter showed faster revenue and profit growth. The next results will test whether that improvement continues beyond the June quarter.
October 29 results date
The companys investor-relations page schedules the announcement of fiscal Q2 2027 results for October 29, 2026, at 3:30 p.m. JST. That date gives the market a defined checkpoint for the buyback, operating momentum and the cautious analyst stance.
Stock falls 4.35 percent in Tokyo
Hitachi Construction Machinery was trading at JPY 5,541 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026 at 1:23 p.m. JST, down 4.35 percent from the prior close of JPY 5,793. The session range was JPY 5,531 to JPY 5,720, against a 52-week range of JPY 4,312 to JPY 7,225.
