Both buyback programs are fully utilized with no new authorization announced. Monitor for any new Board resolution on share repurchases in upcoming filings. The absence of buyback activity removes a near-term support mechanism for the stock.

Executive Summary
Sony Group Corp filed a 6-K with a translation of its monthly Share Buyback Report for April 2026. The report confirms that both previously authorized buyback programs (from May 2025 and February 2026) have been fully completed, with no new repurchases during April. The company disposed of 394,500 treasury shares via stock acquisition rights exercises during the month, totaling ¥1.225 billion in book value. This is a routine administrative filing with no new capital return activity.
Key Facts
- No share repurchases were conducted during April 2026 under either of the two prior Board resolutions.
- The May 2025 buyback program (up to 100M shares / ¥250B) was concluded on October 27, 2025, having repurchased 63,156,800 shares for ¥249,999,876,533.
- The February 2026 buyback program (up to 90M shares / ¥250B) was concluded on March 24, 2026, having repurchased 70,793,900 shares for ¥249,999,854,281.
- Sony disposed of 394,500 treasury shares during April 2026 via stock acquisition rights exercises, with a total book value of ¥1,225,328,835.
- As of April 30, 2026, Sony held 241,749,496 treasury shares out of 6,149,810,645 total shares issued.
Financial Impact
No new capital deployed; ¥500B in aggregate buyback authorizations fully exhausted. Disposition of ¥1.225B in treasury shares is immaterial relative to Sony's market cap.
Risk Factors
- No active buyback program provides downside support; share price may be more sensitive to earnings and macro factors.
- Treasury share dispositions via stock acquisition rights are routine and not a material risk.
