East Japan Railway is expanding its holding in century-old traction-equipment maker Toyo Denki Seizo to 20% of shares outstanding, a filing made as the supplier's full-year net profit rises 39.8% and its dividend climbs to ¥100 a share from ¥70.
The Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed electronics maker bought back 173,800 shares for ¥860.3mn via ToSTNeT-3, using almost all of the buyback authority its board approved just a day earlier.
Oi Electric will spend up to ¥866.25mn buying back 13.08% of its shares in a single off-auction trade on August 19, structured to absorb stock that its largest shareholder, Mitsubishi Electric, has told the company it wants to sell.
PowerX drew ¥7.0bn from an ¥8.0bn Mizuho-led syndicated facility to repay ¥6.0bn of existing borrowing, with the new loan due back on September 17 and secured against company real estate and receivables.
Tokyo Electron has used 80.37% of its ¥150bn buyback budget but only 25.40% of the authorized share count two months into a program that runs to March 2027, its July repurchase filing shows.
Sony Group has already spent ¥193.9bn, nearly two-fifths of its ¥500bn buyback ceiling, after roughly three months of a twelve-month program that runs to May 2027.

Shareholders signed off on a ¥79 per-share year-end payout and elected a seven-director board including president and CEO Izumi Oi, alongside two Audit and Supervisory Board members.
The move: HOYA has set a new three-year PSU award for its CEO, CFO and CSO, with a maximum 22,200 shares and a half-stock, half-cash structure that leaves the final value to be fixed in 2029.
The Tokyo-listed company now forecasts ¥32.5bn in sales and a 45.7 per cent payout ratio for the year ending March 2027, yet says higher beta and interest rates pushed both ROE and ROIC below its capital-cost hurdle.

Nireco will split each share into three on Aug. 1, lift its authorised-share ceiling to 88.2 million from 39.4 million, and adjust unexercised stock acquisition rights accordingly. The post-split dividend forecast is ¥35 a share, but the company says that remains equivalent to ¥105 per pre-split share after correcting the payout breakdown, so this is an access move rather than a cash-return cut.
The three-year scheme covers six directors and 11 executive officers, with payouts tied to relative total shareholder return and split 50-50 between stock and cash. The issue price and total value will be set only after the performance period ends.
