The Nikkei Average rebounded this week, while 54 companies set new all-time highs since listing. Notable examples included トリドールホールディングス, ゼンショーホールディングス and ハピネット.
The Nikkei Average rebounded sharply from the previous weekend despite concerns over U.S. chipmaker NVIDIA. Some AI and semiconductor-related stocks were bought, and 54 stocks set new all-time highs since listing, attracting attention as stocks with little overhead resistance and further room to rise.
Among the main stocks setting new highs, トリドールホールディングス reported higher second-quarter business profit, and its progress against the full-year plan also improved. ゼンショーホールディングス raised its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027, while ハピネット posted a substantial increase in first-half operating profit, driven by strong sales of lottery products for convenience stores.
Other stocks setting new all-time highs since listing included 共立メンテナンス, マクドナルド and 伊藤忠商事, with many stocks across a wide range of sectors following suit. 27 stocks, including 日本マクドナルドホールディングス, set new highs for a second consecutive week. By sector, many stocks setting new highs were reported in construction, foods, information and communications, and retail, among others.
The stocks covered are those listed as of January 2024 and are said to include companies listed on the TSE Prime, Standard and Growth markets.
