NTT has had a good couple of weeks. The company followed up its mid-term EPS target upgrade last week with Q2 results ahead of consensus and announced the cancellation of treasury shares that provide indirect confirmation that share buyback volumes of c. ¥200-300bn will continue.  Operationally, the Q2 beat was driven by results for NTT Data that were announced yesterday but the company also posted a fifth straight quarter of fixed-line growth whilst the mobile business posted healthier results than peers. We remain at Buy.
