Shikoku Electric Power Company stock stood at JPY 2,120.50 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 24, 2026, down 3.00 percent from the prior session. The company completed a share buyback covering 1,810,200 shares for JPY 3,499,784,982 on September 18, 2026, according to Japan IR.
Buyback closes at JPY 3.50 billion
The completed program included 629,200 shares acquired between September 1 and September 18 for JPY 1,354,584,140. The cumulative figure represents a defined capital-return action rather than a preliminary authorization, giving the stock a concrete shareholder-return reference after its September 24 decline.
The buyback total of 1,810,200 shares equals 0.88 percent of the company, while the total purchase amount was JPY 3,499,784,982. This comparison matters because the company finished the program with the full cumulative figure, not merely the September tranche.
Q1 earnings rise from the prior quarter
For Q1 FY2026 ended June 30, 2026, Shikoku Electric reported revenue of JPY 182.252 billion and net income of JPY 19.732 billion, with GAAP earnings per share of JPY 96.55, according to the company investor relations page Shikoku Electric Power.
Revenue was below the JPY 200.832 billion reported for Q4 FY2025, but net income rose from JPY 2.581 billion to JPY 19.732 billion. The earnings comparison is affected by utility seasonality, yet the scale of the profit change gives investors a clearer operating checkpoint than the daily share move alone.
Tariff changes add JPY 33.8 billion
Shikoku Electric's transmission and distribution subsidiary plans to apply revised wheeling charges from November 1, 2026. As The Globe and Mail reported, the revised charges are expected to increase wheeling revenue by a net JPY 33.8 billion across fiscal years 2026 and 2027. That estimate gives the tariff decision a measurable link to future group revenue.
Stock sits below its yearly high
At JPY 2,120.50 on September 24, 2026, the stock was JPY 178.00 below its 52-week high of JPY 2,298.50 and JPY 806.50 above its 52-week low of JPY 1,314. The market capitalization was JPY 433,373,936,774 on the same date.
