The latest update is out from Mitsui & Co ( (JP:8031) ).
Mitsui & Co., Ltd. has completed a share repurchase program authorized in November 2025, reaching the upper limit of ¥200 billion by buying back 41,075,000 common shares on the Tokyo Stock Exchange by March 19, 2026. The company acquired 5,707,700 of those shares in March alone, bringing the total repurchased stake to 1.41% of shares outstanding before cancellation.
Mitsui will cancel all 41,075,000 repurchased shares on March 30, 2026, reducing its issued share count to 2,864,666,576 and tightening its equity base. The move underscores an ongoing focus on shareholder returns and capital efficiency, and slightly increases existing investors’ ownership percentage through a lower share count, although it falls short of the maximum scale originally authorized by the board.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8031) stock is a Hold with a Yen6781.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Mitsui & Co stock, see the JP:8031 Stock Forecast page.
