Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mufg#NYSE">MUFG</a>) announced progress on its previously announced share repurchase plan. The company repurchased 25,639,300 shares of its common stock at an aggregate price of &yen;40.2 billion between May 16, 2024 and May 31, 2024. 
The repurchases were carried out under the company&#39;s &yen;100-billion share repurchase program announced on May 15, 2024. The plan allows MUFG to repurchase up to 80,000,000 shares, representing 0.68% of the total shares outstanding, excluding treasury stock. 
Since May 2017, Mitsubishi UFJ has completed several share-repurchase programs, with an aim to strengthen investors&#39; confidence in the stock. In line with this, in February 2024, MUFG repurchased 56,418,900 shares worth &yen;73 billion. 
Apart from the share repurchase program, MUFG also has an impressive dividend policy. In Fiscal 2024, the company increased the forecast for dividend per common stock to &yen;50 from &yen;41 in fiscal 2023. Further, it targets a dividend payout ratio of 39.1% by the end of fiscal 2024. Thus, by increasing dividends and executing flexible share repurchases, Mitsubishi UFJ aims to enhance shareholders&#39; returns. 
As of Mar 31, 2024, the company had cash and due from banks of &yen;113.6 trillion, much higher than its borrowed money of &yen;24.86 trillion. Given a sound balance sheet and solid liquidity position, MUFG&#39;s capital distribution activities seem sustainable in the long run.
Over the past six months, shares of MUFG have gained 2.6% on the NYSE compared with the industry&#39;s 7.7% growth.
