Yossix Holdings has authorized a share buyback of up to 150,000 shares, with total spending capped at ¥500 million. The purchases can begin on June 15 and run through March 31, 2027, using market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. That ceiling equals 1.46% of shares outstanding excluding treasury stock.

Management said the buyback is meant to expand shareholder returns, improve capital efficiency and secure shares for stock-based incentives. In other words, this is not just a tidy balance-sheet exercise. Yossix also said it held 104,840 treasury shares as of March 31. The authorization sets a maximum size and time window, not a commitment to buy the full amount.

Operating context looks steady, though that is the side dish rather than the main course. In a separate May trading update, Yossix said same-store sales rose 5.6% from a year earlier and all-store sales increased 12.8%. Total store count reached 402 after one new Yataizushi opening in Aichi Prefecture. The company said those current-year comparison figures include Wonder Food Innovation.
