The latest announcement is out from GMO Internet ( (JP:9449) ).
GMO Internet Group’s cybersecurity subsidiary, GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, has begun preparing for a Tokyo Stock Exchange listing to bolster funding capacity, brand recognition, and social credibility, while remaining a consolidated unit of the parent group. The move aims to support expansion of its white-hat-hacker-driven services, such as automated security assessment tools, to meet rising cyber risks spanning web systems, IoT devices, automotive systems, and physical facilities.
The planned listing is positioned as a core pillar of GMO Internet Group’s “Internet Security for Everyone by GMO” strategy and its broader push into AI and robotics, with management expecting improved access to talent and stronger governance through market scrutiny. It also exemplifies the group’s “Swing-by IPO” model, under which subsidiaries scale using shared resources and the unified GMO brand before going public, a key element in enhancing group-wide corporate value and returns to minority shareholders, though timing and market segment for the listing remain undecided.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:9449) stock is a Hold with a Yen4339.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on GMO Internet stock, see the JP:9449 Stock Forecast page.
