Fujitsu spent ¥10.87bn buying back 2,846,200 of its own shares in September, according to its monthly share repurchase status report dated 6 October. The purchases take cumulative spending under the current programme to ¥32.82bn, or 21.9% of the ¥150bn ceiling, with the share count at 9.2% of the cap.
What the programme allows
The board approved the buyback on 28 April 2026. It allows purchases of up to 100,000,000 shares and ¥150bn in total between 1 May 2026 and 31 March 2027. Cumulative purchases at the end of September stood at 9,183,300 shares for ¥32.82bn. This is progress under an existing authorization, not a new decision.
The board resolved that shares be acquired through market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, a method that includes discretionary investment arrangements with securities firms and off-floor ToSTNeT-3 trades.
September in detail
Buying was spread across 14 trading days between 1 and 18 September. The heaviest day was 10 September, with 400,000 shares bought for about ¥1.50bn. The lightest was 14 September, with 8,000 shares for ¥31mn. The report lists no purchases after 18 September.
Shares held, none retired
Fujitsu reported no cancellations, transfers or other disposals of repurchased shares in the month. At 30 September it held 13,160,155 treasury shares out of 1,739,778,265 issued. The holding figure includes shares acquired through requests to buy odd-lot holdings.
The authorization window runs to 31 March 2027, and the report shows 21.9% of the money ceiling and 9.2% of the share ceiling used as of 30 September. The report does not say whether Fujitsu intends to use the full amount.
