what happened
Japanese trading house Hanwa Co said it may buy back up to 1.82% of its own shares worth 5 billion yen, Reuters reported. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries separately said it will repurchase up to 3.6% of its shares worth 300 billion yen. According to the company, all treasury shares bought by MHI will be cancelled.
A buyback reduces the number of shares in circulation and creates demand for the stock from the company itself. The Mitsubishi Heavy program is considerably larger in size, so its effect on the share price could be more noticeable.
why it matters
For investors, such programs matter as a signal about capital allocation and can support earnings per share. The size of the MHI buyback makes the news relevant for the Japanese industrial sector.
