Nippon Telegraph (ISIN JP3735400008) was last at JPY 170.10 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 6, 2026, with a daily change of 0.06 percent. The latest capital action is the company's September stock repurchase, which adds a concrete support factor for the shares.

Buyback reaches 491.6 million shares

According to Japan IR on October 1, 2026, NTT acquired 94,237,900 ordinary shares between September 1 and September 30 for JPY 16,460,974,290. Cumulative purchases reached 491,571,000 shares and JPY 77,588,530,910 by the end of September, so the latest monthly tranche represented 19.2 percent of the shares acquired under the program so far.

The broader authorization permits purchases of up to 1.4 billion shares or JPY 200 billion through March 31, 2027. That leaves the program with a defined scale, while the September disclosure shows that execution continued after the company had already bought 397,333,100 shares through August.

Price remains below the yearly high

The October 6 quote stood within a JPY 142.60 to JPY 180.10 52-week range. At JPY 170.10, the stock was 5.6 percent below the yearly high, while trading volume reached 124,008,700 shares and the market capitalization stood at JPY 13.9 trillion on the same date.

The market picture is therefore more measured than the buyback headline: the share price sits in the upper part of its yearly range, but the daily change was 0.06 percent. For investors, the key distinction is between the continuing capital return and the still incomplete rerating toward the yearly high.

November results set the next checkpoint

NTT's investor-relations calendar lists November 4, 2026, for financial results covering the six months ended September 30, 2026, according to NTT. The company also identifies August 6, 2026, as the date of its latest published results for the three months ended June 30, 2026.

That November release will give investors the next reported-period test for earnings and capital allocation. Until then, the quantified buyback progress and the JPY 180.10 yearly high provide the clearest company-specific markers for Nippon Telegraph stock.
