FA-related share prices have fallen into negative territory year to date, while FANUC and Yaskawa Electric, long regarded as Japan’s stronghold, are beginning to feel the effects of Chinese companies’ improving technological capabilities.
Factory automation (FA)-related stocks have remained lackluster. FANUC and Yaskawa Electric in particular have fallen into negative territory year to date, raising concerns about a field that had been a Japanese stronghold.
As Chinese companies strengthen their technological capabilities, there is a view that pressure on Japanese FA stocks is intensifying.
In the Tokyo stock market on the 7th, the Nikkei 225 rose sharply, gaining ¥1,378.90 from the previous Friday. FANUC and Yaskawa Electric also extended their gains.
