Today, JPX Market Innovation & Research, Inc. (JPXI), a leading global provider of Japanese financial market data, added “Share Buyback Information Data (TDnet/EDINET)” to J-Quants Pro, a data distribution service offering corporate users insightful data on Japanese financial markets via API, SFTP, and Snowflake. Additionally, estimated earnings announcement times were added to the “Earnings Announcement Dates & Times” dataset. Cashflow statements were also added to the “Financial Summary/Statements (BS/PL/CF)” dataset from October.
Share Buyback Information (New Dataset)
This dataset offers comprehensive information related to share buybacks for Japanese listed stocks. This offering consists of the following three datasets:
Share Buyback Information (TDnet)
The following information on share buybacks is promptly distributed following disclosure by the listed company via TDnet. This data enables users to capture a full range of information regarding share buybacks by listed companies.
- Details of buyback resolutions (number of shares, total amount, period)
- Status of buybacks (acquisition status for the previous month)
- Information on the completion of buybacks
Share Buyback Information (EDINET)
This dataset offers timely updates every 15 minutes on the status of share buybacks disclosed by listed companies via EDINET. This dataset includes daily buyback records for the previous month, which are not available in the TDnet dataset.
Off-Auction Share Buyback (ToSTNeT-3)
This dataset provides timely information on share buybacks conducted on ToSTNeT-3. Notifications of buybacks via ToSTNeT-3 are delivered after market close on the business day prior to the scheduled purchase, and results of the purchase are distributed at approx. 9:00 a.m. on the day of the transaction.
The "Share Buyback Information" dataset covers all Japanese domestic listed companies, acting as a centralized source for information. Historical data is also available, making it suitable for long-term analysis.
Addition of Scheduled Earnings Announcement Times Data
In response to user requests, estimated earnings announcement time data is being added to the Scheduled Dates for Earnings Announcements dataset.
This dataset provides the estimated time of announcement for the upcoming period’s earnings, as inferred by JPX’s proprietary model based on each listed company’s past announcement times. In addition to the time information, we also provide a trading session classification (pre-market, morning session, lunch break, afternoon session, post-market close). This eliminates the need for users to convert announcement times into trading session categories themselves.
Users can utilize this estimated time information to further empower risk management related to scheduled earnings announcements. With this addition, the dataset will be renamed “Earnings Announcement Dates & Times." The addition of historical data and a revision to pricing is also planned to accompany this expansion.
