2802: Gene Therapy CDMO And Share Buybacks Will Support Balanced Outlook

Analysts have modestly raised their price target on Ajinomoto to ¥3,500 from ¥3,500, citing slightly stronger long term revenue growth and profit margin assumptions that more than offset a marginally lower future P/E multiple. What's in the News Board approves a new share repurchase program of up to 30,000,000 shares, or 3.09% of outstanding stock, for ¥80 billion, with all repurchased shares to be cancelled by November 30, 2026 (Board/Buyback announcement).
