Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Nippon Paper ( (JP:3863) ) has issued an update.

Nippon Paper Industries has accelerated the unwinding of its cross-shareholdings, having reached its earlier goal of selling ¥15 billion in listed cross-held shares two years ahead of schedule by the end of fiscal 2025. Building on this faster-than-expected progress, the company has now set a new target to reduce listed cross-held shares by an additional ¥25 billion between fiscal 2026 and the end of 2030, including holdings via retirement benefit trusts.

Management frames the divestment of cross-shareholdings as a core plank of its Medium-Term Business Plan 2030, aimed at optimizing the balance sheet, lifting capital efficiency, and supporting decisive structural reforms. By positioning the eventual elimination of cross-shareholdings in principle as a key measure for sustainable growth, Nippon Paper signals to investors a continued focus on governance, profitability, and transparent disclosure of its progress on portfolio streamlining.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:3863) stock is a Sell with a Yen1080.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nippon Paper stock, see the JP:3863 Stock Forecast page.
