Coca-Cola BJ stock tracks a 7.68 million share buyback milestone

Coca-Cola BJ (ISIN JP3293200006) stock was last at JPY 3,776 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, down 0.05 percent from the prior close. The latest capital-return figure is concrete: Japan IR reported on October 2, 2026 that the company bought 497,400 shares for JPY 1,898,108,305 during September.

Buyback reaches 7.68 million shares

The September purchases lifted cumulative acquisitions under the existing program to 7,683,700 shares and JPY 27,134,681,260, according to Japan IR. The disclosure covers market purchases on the Tokyo Stock Exchange for the period from September 1, 2026 through September 30, 2026, under a board resolution with a ceiling of 15,000,000 shares and JPY 30 billion.

The larger shareholder-return plan announced with the first-half results is scheduled to start in November and totals JPY 40 billion over one year. That amount is JPY 10 billion above the preceding program, giving the capital policy a measurable step-up even as the share price was last 18.97 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 4,660.

Profit recovery supplies the operating backdrop

The latest reported half-year figures covered the six months ended June 30, 2026. In the earnings presentation, Yahoo Finance reported revenue growth of 1.3 percent year over year and gross-profit growth of 3.4 percent.

Business income increased by JPY 6.6 billion year over year, while net income reached JPY 4.8 billion after the company returned to first-half profitability for the first time in eight years. Sales volume rose 2 percent, and management retained a full-year business-income target of JPY 35 billion, while citing pricing, cost savings and the Monster Energy rollout as important second-half levers.

The operating picture is not uniform. Vending revenue declined, although vending segment profit reached JPY 5.3 billion, an improvement of JPY 6.7 billion from the prior year; the comparison included lower depreciation after the previous year's impairment charge.

Stock remains below its yearly high

Coca-Cola BJ stock had a 52-week range of JPY 2,437 to JPY 4,660 on October 7, 2026. Its market capitalization was JPY 613.5 billion and trading volume was 659,400 shares on the same date, placing the latest quote in the upper half of its yearly range but below the peak.

The next earnings date listed for the company is October 30, 2026. For investors, the key test is whether the first-half profit recovery and pricing actions can support the JPY 35 billion full-year business-income target while the buyback expands shareholder returns.
