NTT (9432) Buyback Has Come – But NTT Is Gonna Grind Out Better EPS So I’d Keep It

By Travis Lundy

  • NTT announced a buyback in May as discussed in NTT (9432) – Salutary Earnings Salutary Buyback, More to Go, via ToSTNeT-3 to buy a chunk of the govt’s stake. 
  • That will be executed by ToSTNeT-3 buyback pre-open tomorrow, with a bid of 103.1725mm shares at ¥3,877. A separate report suggests the Ministry of Finance will sell 92mm shares.
  • It is like a mini tender offer so if you want to sell a large chunk of shares, you can. But I wouldn’t.
