Mitsubishi Corporation has completed a large-scale share repurchase program authorized in April 2025, buying back a total of 318,397,611 common shares for approximately 1 trillion yen through Tokyo Stock Exchange purchases and a tender offer. Between March 1 and March 24, 2026 alone, it repurchased 11,688,800 shares for about 60.7 billion yen, marking the final tranche of the program.

All 318,397,611 repurchased shares, representing 7.9% of shares outstanding, will be cancelled on April 30, 2026, reducing the total number of shares outstanding to 3,710,528,742. The cancellation significantly tightens Mitsubishi Corporation’s equity base and is likely to boost per-share metrics, underscoring management’s commitment to shareholder returns and potentially strengthening its market valuation and capital efficiency profile.
