5 terms

share buyback financial

"Translation of the Share Buyback Report for the period from June 1, 2026"

A share buyback is when a company uses its cash to purchase its own stock from the market, which reduces the number of shares available to other investors. Think of it like a bakery buying back some of its own cookies so the remaining cookies are a bigger slice of the business; buybacks can raise per-share earnings and ownership stakes and signal management’s confidence, but they also use cash that could have been spent on growth or dividends.

treasury stock financial

"Number of treasury stock | 92,854,256"

Treasury stock is shares that a company has bought back from the public and kept in its own control rather than retiring them. Think of it like a company holding its own tickets in a drawer: those shares no longer vote or receive dividends while held, but the company can reissue or retire them later; this reduces the number of shares available to outside investors and can boost per‑share earnings and influence ownership and stock price.

stock acquisition rights financial

"Other (Exercise of stock acquisition rights)"

Restricted Stock Units plan financial

"Other (Treasury stock delivered under Restricted Stock Units plan)"

General Meeting of Shareholders financial

"Status of a repurchase pursuant to a resolution approved at a General Meeting of Shareholders"

A general meeting of shareholders is a scheduled gathering where people who own shares vote on important company decisions—such as electing directors, approving financial reports, deciding dividends, or authorizing major transactions. It matters to investors because the outcomes shape who runs the company, its strategy and payout policy, and can directly influence future profits and the stock’s value; think of it as a homeowners’ association meeting where owners set rules that affect everyone’s property.
