The Tokyo Stock Exchange continues to request that investment units be kept below ¥500,000, leading to a succession of split announcements in September, involving 53 stocks. Attention is focusing on which stocks may be next candidates for splits.
The stock-split rush continues against the backdrop of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's policy. The request to keep investment units below ¥500,000 is creating an environment in which listed companies are increasingly likely to opt for splits.
According to media reports, 53 stocks announced splits in September, and the number of stocks carrying out splits may continue to rise. Specific examples include クレスコ (4674, TSE Prime) and IRソリューション.
Along with factors such as share price levels and timing, this trend is expected to influence investors' stock selection. However, investors will need to await future disclosures for details of the reasons and timing behind individual companies' split decisions.
