>>89397215The buyback last December worked better than expected. It didn't merely help AC "stay above 3k," the stock kept steadily climbing after the buyback was complete, eventually reaching a peak of 3820... on Feb 5.
Guess what they did a few hours after the TSE closed that day.
Since then, they have opened up margin trading in March, done a second and bigger buyback in June, done a treasury stock cancellation in July, and have announced dividends in September; and are expected to announce a third round of buybacks next month concurrent with the Q2 report.
>>89397647Probably. As of 1100 JST, the score is Cover 2544, AC 2183
