The buyback execution is on pace but not accelerating — the remaining ~¥53 billion authorization over the next month suggests steady rather than aggressive repurchase activity. Monitor the September 30, 2026 deadline for any final acceleration. No earnings or fundamental data in this filing; the 20-F annual report remains the primary reference for financial health.
