H2O Retailing Corporation ( (JP:8242) ) has shared an update.
H2O Retailing Corporation said its ratio of cross-shareholdings to consolidated net assets fell to 19.5% as of April 30, 2026, dropping below the 20% threshold it views as a key milestone. The group has steadily cut strategic stockholdings over several years, including the sale of TOHO shares in April 2026, and plans to keep reducing holdings that lack a clear rationale.
Management framed the lower ratio as progress under its 2024–2026 mid-term plan and part of broader efforts to boost capital efficiency and governance. The company said its board will continue to review remaining holdings, enhance disclosure, and pursue cost-of-capital-conscious management aimed at improving ROE and maximizing corporate value, with strategic shareholdings expected to stay below 20% of net assets by the end of March 2027.
