jig.jp tops 'rising buy forecasts' ranking on Minkabu individual investor survey

Wed Sep 2, 2026 2:19 pm JST Catalyst

As of 2:00 p.m. on the 2nd, jig.jp co., ltd. <5244> ranked first in the rising buy forecasts category of the Retail Investor Forecasts (Latest 48 Hours) compiled by Minkabu.

After market close on the 25th, jig.jp announced a share buyback program for up to 1.2 million shares (representing 2.88% of issued shares excluding treasury stock) or 280 million yen. The buyback period runs from the 26th through December 24. Of this total, the company acquired 373,500 shares on the morning of the 26th through the Tokyo Stock Exchange's ToSTNeT-3 off-hours trading facility for 65.73 million yen.

However, the 373,500 shares acquired via ToSTNeT-3 represent just over 30% of the 1.2 million-share limit, with ongoing expectations of further repurchases driving buy forecasts.
