ORIX Corporation surged 6.98% in after-hours trading following announcements regarding its ongoing equity buyback program. The company disclosed that it repurchased 8.56 million shares (0.77%) for ¥35.59 billion from October to December 2025, completing 2.63% of its total buyback plan under the 2025–2026 mandate. These repurchases signal management’s confidence in the stock’s value and demonstrate active capital allocation, which typically boosts investor sentiment.
