Inpex Corporation (ISIN JP3294460005) was last at JPY 3,648 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 7, 2026, down 1.35 percent from the prior close. The company published an update on its treasury stock acquisition that day, giving the stock a fresh corporate event as investors weigh record first-half earnings against energy-market risks.

Buyback update reaches the market

Minkabu reported the October 7, 2026, timely disclosure titled status of acquisition of treasury stock. The page identifies Inpex as listed on the TSE Prime market and shows the stock at JPY 3,686 at 12:54 p.m. JST, down 0.32 percent at that point in the session.

INPEX lists November 12, 2026, as the date for its nine-month results, with an investor meeting scheduled for November 13. The timetable matters because the next report will show whether the first-half earnings strength continued into the second half.

First-half profit sets the baseline

According to Quartr in its September 8, 2026, summary of the six months ended June 30, 2026, profit attributable to owners of the parent reached JPY 263.1 billion, up 17.7 percent year over year. Revenue fell 4.6 percent to JPY 1,000.4 billion, while operating profit rose 0.3 percent to JPY 618.7 billion.

Management raised the full-year 2026 net profit forecast by JPY 60.0 billion to JPY 510.0 billion, according to the same earnings summary. The contrast is important: lower crude oil revenue was offset by stronger natural gas performance, higher realized prices and a favorable currency effect.

Ichthys remains central

INPEX agreed on September 25, 2026, to acquire an additional 0.735 percent interest in the Ichthys LNG project from JERA, lifting its interest from 67.82 percent to 68.555 percent. The transaction remains subject to Australian regulatory approvals, and INPEX said the effect on consolidated results would be minor.

Stock stays below yearly high

At JPY 3,648 on October 7, 2026, Inpex stock stood 26.4 percent below its 52-week high of JPY 4,955 and above its 52-week low of JPY 2,607. Market capitalization was JPY 4.2 trillion, with volume of 4,466,000 shares.
