The latest update is out from Shimano ( (JP:7309) ).
Shimano said it recognizes that bringing its minimum investment unit below ¥500,000 would improve access for individual investors, but stressed that its primary objective remains the sustainable enhancement of corporate value. The company noted that its current unit size is above that level, even though easier buying and selling could further engage its already large base of retail shareholders.
Management signaled an intention to eventually reduce the investment unit, potentially via measures such as a stock split, but will only do so after a comprehensive review of impacts on existing shareholders and market dynamics. Factors under consideration include possible share price volatility from heightened trading, changes in the number of individual investors, liquidity conditions and broader capital policy, and Shimano gave no timetable while emphasizing a medium- to long-term focus on shareholder value.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:7309) stock is a Hold with a Yen19183.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Shimano stock, see the JP:7309 Stock Forecast page.
