SoftBank Group said on Friday it has approved a 1 trillion yen ($9.6 billion) share repurchase, the final tranche of a record 2.5 trillion buyback that has helped propel its share price to two decade highs.

SoftBank said in a statement the 4.5 trillion yen programme had intended to be executed over four quarters from the time of the original announcement, but that it was possible the repurchase may not be completed until April 2021 or later. SoftBank shares climbed as much as 2% following the announcement, with its share price up 43% year-to-date.
With the proceeds from asset sales potentially more than its targeted amount, “excess funds are likely being considered for Vision Fund 2”, wrote Kirk Boodry, analyst at Redex Research, in a note on the Smartkarma platform.
