Nippon Telegraph (ISIN JP3735400008) has a JPY 191.00 price target and Buy rating in the latest analyst item cited by The Globe and Mail on October 2, 2026. The target gives the current market discussion a clear reference point while Nippon Telegraph continues its capital-return program.

Buyback reaches JPY 77.59 billion

The Globe and Mail reported that Nippon Telegraph repurchased 94.24 million shares for JPY 16.46 billion between September 1 and September 30, 2026. Cumulative purchases reached 491.57 million shares and JPY 77.59 billion by the end of September.

The broader authorization allows purchases of up to 1.40 billion shares or JPY 200.00 billion through March 31, 2027, according to the same October 2, 2026 report. The completed purchases amount to 38.80 percent of the authorized yen value, calculated from JPY 77.59 billion divided by JPY 200.00 billion.

Revenue grows faster than profit

NTT's April to June 2026 results combined higher sales with slower profit growth. In an analysis confirmed on September 24, 2026, Note reported operating revenue of JPY 3.6177 trillion, up 10.90 percent from JPY 3.2620 trillion in the prior-year quarter. Operating profit reached JPY 425.10 billion, up 4.90 percent from JPY 405.20 billion.

The gap between revenue and operating-profit growth matters because it points to margin pressure during expansion. The analysis calculated a decline in operating margin from 12.40 percent to 11.80 percent, making the next segment update important for judging whether higher sales are translating into proportionate profit.

Tokyo quote remains below yearly high

Global Banking and Finance Review identifies Nippon Telegraph as ticker 9432.T on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under ISIN JP3735400008. The structured Tokyo quote was JPY 170.70 at 9:05 a.m. JST on October 6, 2026, against a 52-week range of JPY 142.60 to JPY 180.10 and a market capitalization of JPY 13.9 trillion.

InvestPane lists November 4, 2026 as the next earnings date. For investors, the combination of a JPY 191.00 target, ongoing buybacks and the first-quarter margin comparison makes operating leverage the central metric for the next report.
