Canon Marketing Japan (TSE:8060) has announced a share buyback program to repurchase up to 200,000 shares, approximately 2% of its total capital, for up to ¥10 billion. This follows a strong performance with a 45% total return over the past year. The company's P/E ratio stands at 17.6x, higher than industry averages, indicating a potentially overvalued stock. However, a discounted cash flow analysis suggests it may be undervalued by 19%. Investors are encouraged to consider both perspectives as they evaluate future growth potential.
