Sony Group increased its share buyback plan to facilitate more flexible repurchases, citing factors including trends in the stock market.

The Japanese electronics and entertainment company said Thursday that it will increase the maximum amount of repurchases to 250 billion yen, equivalent to US$1.60 billion, from 150 billion yen previously.

It also said that it will expand the maximum number of shares for repurchase to 90 million shares from 55 million shares previously.

The share buyback period runs from Nov. 12, 2025 to May 14, 2026.

The company said it conducts buybacks in consideration of factors such as opportunities for strategic investment and financial conditions as part of efforts to improve capital efficiency.
