AI Stock Investment [Practical Edition] M3 (2413) Complete Strategy Episode 4: The 10 Billion Yen Bazooka That Exploded

~The strongest AI secretary exposes the management's 'silent counterattack'~

(March 3, 2026, 11:30 AM. In the investor's office)
Me (Boss): "Hey Chris! What is this market doing just a day later? It's 11:30 AM, and M3's stock price is 1,632.5 yen. That's down 35 yen from yesterday! It was hammered down to 1,495 yen at one point at the end of February! That 'ironclad guard of share buybacks' you were talking about is being completely swallowed by market panic!"
AI Secretary Chris: "...Boss, please take a deep breath. You are currently distracted by the 'waves (daily price movements)' in front of you and are missing the 'massive tectonic shift' happening in the ocean. Please look at this IR document that was quietly released by M3 yesterday, March 2, 2026."
Me: "IR? 'Notice Regarding the Status of Share Repurchases'...? What is it, just a routine administrative notice?"
Chris: "It is not just a routine administrative notice. This is a 'powerful message (declaration of war)' from the management team. Let's decipher the numbers. In just one month, from February 1 to February 28, 2026, they bought back a staggering 5,771,200 shares from the market."
Me: "F-5.7 million shares...!?"
Chris: "Yes. The amount used for that was 9,488,714,800 yen. Boss, they weren't setting up a defensive line. They took advantage of the market panic and people dumping their stocks to fire a 9.5 billion yen bazooka, buying up their own 'rough diamonds' for next to nothing."

1: The calculated 'management's real intentions (borderline)'
Me: "9.5 billion in one month... Wait a minute, then at what price were they buying?"
Chris: "That is exactly the 'code breaking' that investors need to know most. Let's use my AI to reverse-engineer the 'fair price (lower limit, upper limit, average) that management is thinking of' from this IR data and the February chart."

• [Average Acquisition Price] Approximately 1,644 yen (Calculated as 9,488,714,800 yen ÷ 5,771,200 shares)

• [Upper Limit of Buying (Resistance Zone)] Approximately 1,900 yen to 1,996 yen (In early February, the stock price rose to 1,996.5 yen. However, it is unlikely that they were actively buying in this high price range. This is because the average price is 1,644 yen.)

• [Lower Limit of Buying (Absolute Defensive Line)] Approximately 1,495 yen to the low 1,500 yen range (On February 24, the stock price hit a recent low of 1,495 yen. It is presumed that at this bottom of fear where the price fell below 1,500 yen, M3 itself opened its massive mouth and swallowed all the shares that individual investors were crying while dumping.)

Me: "In other words... the management judged that 'the 1,500 to 1,600 yen range is a clear bargain (oversold)' and threw nearly 10 billion yen in cash at it without hesitation."
Chris: "That's right. Think about what you would do if you were a manager. Because they know the true value of their own company (AI pipeline, partnership with Sony, Vidal's overwhelming data), they are acting with the conviction that 'at this stock price, buying our own shares is the best investment in the world.'"

2: '6.4 billion yen in remaining ammunition' still loaded
Me: "But if they've already used 9.5 billion, aren't they out of ammo? They won't be able to stop the next crash."
Chris: "You're naive, Boss. Look at the 'cumulative' column in the document. The total upper limit for share buybacks they set is 20 billion yen. And the cumulative acquisition amount as of the end of February is 13,561,926,100 yen."
Me: "...That means there's still about 6.4 billion yen in remaining ammunition (capacity)!"
Chris: "Correct. The market is terrified that 'the bottom is going to fall out,' but there is still a '6.4 billion yen giant trampoline' laid out underneath. How does the management team, who bought up shares at an average of 1,644 yen, view the current stock price in the 1,630 yen range? And the '1 yen per share stock options' given to the mysterious genius engineer... Don't all the dots connect?"
Me: "...Yeah, they connect. While everyone is making noise on the message boards that 'it's over,' the company itself is quietly and with violent financial power solidifying the bottom. Hardly anyone realizes this cheat-like structure."

3: Three Sights to Completely Hack the 'Bottom Price' (Sniper Strategy)
Me: "Alright, Chris. I understand that the company is buying at an average of 1,644 yen and that there is a 6.4 billion yen cushion at the bottom. But there is no such thing as 'absolute' in the stock world. Specifically, when and at what price should we buy for the best risk-reward ratio? Tell me the strategy."
AI Secretary Chris: "Leave it to me, Boss. I will deploy a 'highly advantageous sniper strategy' extracted from public data. Please look at (5) Method of Acquisition in the document. It says, 'Market purchase based on a discretionary trading contract on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.'"
Me: "Hmm? A discretionary contract? So what?"
Chris: "This means that they have set rules for the securities company and are having them buy automatically. To avoid driving up the stock price, they are running an algorithm that buys mechanically on days when the stock price drops (dips). When cross-referenced with the daily chart data for February, their 'buying trigger' becomes clearly visible. In conclusion, the buying timing is narrowed down to the following 'three sights'."

🎯 Sight 1: The Invincible Zone below '1,644 yen (Company's Average Unit Price)'
Chris: "First, as a premise, the average unit price the company bought in February was approximately 1,644 yen. The current stock price (March 3rd) is 1,632.5 yen. Boss, do you understand what this means?"
Me: "...! If I buy now, it means I can get in at a cheaper price than M3 itself bought!"
Chris: "That is correct. The management, who knows the true internal value, bought 9.5 billion yen worth, thinking even 1,644 yen was cheap. We individual investors can enter at a more advantageous unit price than the company itself. There is no timing for a 'test entry' that makes more sense than this. The current 1,630 yen range can be considered to have already entered the 'buying strike zone'."

🎯 Sight 2: The Ironclad Support Line of '1,550 yen to 1,580 yen'
Me: "Then, what if the market conditions (the overall market) get worse from here and it drops further? There's a risk it could plunge into the 1,500 yen range like it did at the end of February, right?"
Chris: "That is the biggest opportunity to deploy the 'main capital'. Look at the chart. From February 18th to 26th, it repeatedly hit the 1,570 yen to 1,590 yen line and rebounded with lower shadows (reluctance to fall). This is evidence that when the stock price falls to this level, the securities company's algorithm judges it as 'cheap' and automatically activates support buying (the share buyback bazooka)."
Me: "I see... If it falls to the 1,550 yen to 1,580 yen range, I shouldn't throw it away in fear, but rather 'fight together' with the company's share buyback unit and buy."

🎯 Sight 3: The Final Defense Line of '1,490 yen' and Exit Rules
Chris: "Perfect. And finally, we can clearly set the most important 'exit line (stop loss)' in investing. The lowest price reached on February 24th was 1,495 yen. There is evidence that the management defended this as a line they wanted to protect at all costs. If it clearly breaks below this 1,490 yen due to a global market crash or similar, it means an 'abnormal situation that even the 6.4 billion yen share buyback bazooka cannot stop'."
Me: "In other words, if it breaks 1,490 yen, I should consider a temporary exit (stop loss) without question."

Chris: "Yes. Let's summarize the strategy."

• [Strategy A (Current)]: 'Test entry' in the 1,630 yen range. Get in cheaper than the company (1,644 yen).

• [Strategy B (When falling)]: 'Main capital' if it falls to 1,550-1,580 yen. Ride the company's buying algorithm.

• [Defense Line (Stop Loss)]: Assume a temporary exit if it clearly breaks 1,490 yen.

How is that, Boss? While there is an open-ended upside called 'Sony and the genius engineer's AI revolution', there is a clear bottom support visible from the '6.4 billion yen capital' on the downside. It is a game where the risk-reward ratio is abnormally advantageous."
Me: "...I can win. With this, I can trade using professional 'numbers and logic' instead of an amateur's emotional trading. Chris, let's set the net according to the strategy!"
