Nippon Telegraph stock (ISIN JP3735400008) was last at JPY 172.10 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 8, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, unchanged from the prior close. The stock stood 4.44 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 180.10, keeping shareholder returns and the November results date at the center of the setup.

Buyback reaches 491.6 million shares

NTT repurchased 94,237,900 ordinary shares between September 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 for JPY 16,460,974,290. According to Japan IR, cumulative purchases reached 491,571,000 shares and JPY 77,588,530,910 by September 30, 2026.

The broader authorization allows purchases of up to 1.4 billion shares and JPY 200 billion through March 31, 2027. The September purchases therefore represented 94,237,900 of the authorized shares, while the cumulative amount reached JPY 77.59 billion.

Revenue grows faster than profit

NTT's fiscal first quarter ended June 30, 2026 with operating revenue of JPY 3.6177 trillion, up 10.9 percent from the year-earlier quarter. Operating profit rose 4.9 percent to JPY 425.1 billion, and quarterly profit attributable to NTT increased 5.8 percent to JPY 274.8 billion, according to a September 24 analysis published on note.com.

The comparison matters because revenue growth exceeded operating-profit growth by 6.0 percentage points. That spread places execution and margin development alongside the buyback as the key test for the next report.

November 4 sets the next checkpoint

NTT has scheduled its financial results for the six months ended September 30, 2026, for November 4, 2026, according to the company's investor-relations calendar. The date will show whether the first-quarter pattern of double-digit revenue growth and single-digit operating-profit growth continues.
