Kyocera bought 9,287,900 of its own ordinary shares for ¥32.36bn between September 1 and September 30, 2026, according to its monthly repurchase status notice dated October 6. The figures are on an execution basis, and the purchases went through the Tokyo Stock Exchange's ToSTNeT-3 off-floor facility and through market purchases under a repurchase contract.
Progress against the ceiling
The September buying sits inside a programme the board approved on April 30, 2026. It allows Kyocera to buy up to 156,544,000 shares, equal to 11.88% of shares outstanding excluding treasury stock, for up to ¥250bn, between May 1, 2026 and March 24, 2027.
By September 30, the company had acquired 49,227,800 shares for a cumulative ¥177.63bn under that resolution. That is spending against a ceiling, not a new programme: the notice reports the figures as progress under the April 30 resolution and sets out no new terms.
What the notice leaves open
The notice reports purchases, not cancellation of the shares bought. It also gives no guidance on how quickly Kyocera intends to use the remaining authorization before the March 24, 2027 end date, and a ceiling is a limit rather than a commitment to spend it.
