Secom (ISIN JP3421800008) completed a share repurchase covering 9,761,600 shares, or 2.43 percent of outstanding equity, by September 30, 2026, while Secom stock was valued at 22.80 times earnings. Yahoo Finance reported the buyback and valuation figures on October 9, 2026.
Three milestones shape the story
On May 8, 2026, Secom reported fiscal 2026 revenue of JPY 1.2568 trillion and operating profit of JPY 160.33 billion. Investalk identified the fiscal-year release date and the corresponding figures.
On August 7, 2026, Secom reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of JPY 298.45 billion, up 3.60 percent year over year, and operating profit of JPY 33.47 billion, up 3.90 percent. The company listed the three-month results on its investor-relations page.
On September 30, 2026, the repurchase reached 9,761,600 shares for JPY 63.28 billion. The capital-return figure is large enough to matter for per-share earnings, but the valuation debate remains open because the same analysis places the stock above the Japanese commercial-services industry multiple.
What does the buyback change?
Yahoo Finance said the repurchase reduced the share count while Secom traded at a 22.80 times earnings multiple, compared with 13.30 times for the Japanese commercial-services industry and 16.40 times for its peer group. Its internal discounted-cash-flow model placed fair value at JPY 7,260.98 against a last close of JPY 6,346, showing why buyback support and valuation caution can coexist.
The operating picture supplies a second anchor. In the first quarter of fiscal 2027, revenue rose 3.60 percent year over year, while net income attributable to owners of the parent fell 3.40 percent to JPY 24.10 billion. That mix leaves operating profit and the next quarterly release as the key tests for whether capital returns are accompanied by broader earnings growth.
Dates point to the next earnings test
Secom's investor-relations calendar schedules the consolidated second-quarter fiscal 2027 earnings announcement for November 11, 2026, while the interim-dividend record date was September 30, 2026. The calendar also lists an October 13, 2026 SASB report, placing the next earnings release at the center of the upcoming company timetable.
Market value and next report
Secom's market capitalization was JPY 2.6 trillion as of October 13, 2026, based on a Tokyo Stock Exchange quote of JPY 6,457 and the reported share count. The combination of a 2.43 percent buyback, 3.60 percent first-quarter revenue growth and a 22.80 times earnings multiple gives investors three distinct measures for assessing the stock before November 11, 2026.
