Toyota's first-quarter profit dipped, yet the company announced a share buyback and raised its full-year outlook.

The share buyback was reported as $6.4 billion by one source and as ¥1 trillion by another. It is unclear whether these figures refer to the same buyback amount expressed in different currencies.
