The reasons the company gives
The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.The share buyback is expected to begin on 10 August 2026, after disclosure of the results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2027, in order to comply with insider trading regulations and other requirements. Regarding the situation in the Middle East, the company said that the risk of a sharp rise in JEPX prices is low because of the diversification of LNG procurement sources and the fuel cost adjustment system, and that there is currently no material impact on its full-year earnings forecast. The use of AI and DX in field operations is intended to address labor shortages and an aging workforce, as well as to cross-sell electricity switching services through M&A in inspection and safety-related businesses.
