Apr. 28: Update to the Request Concerning Management That is Conscious of Cost of Capital and Stock Price
Since March 2023, Tokyo Stock Exchange, Inc. (TSE) has been requesting that all listed companies on the Prime and Standard Markets take “Action to Implement Management That is Conscious of Cost of Capital and Stock Price.” This request, which has been a major focus since March 2023, is now entering its fourth year. Roughly 90% of Prime Market listed companies and 50% of Standard Market listed companies have made disclosures, and many companies have shown significant progress in their initiatives.
To provide all listed companies with a reference for their future initiatives, TSE updated its previous request and compiled key points on investor expectations and initiatives, with a particular focus on the appropriate allocation of management resources.
TSE will continue to provide actively support to all listed companies in their initiatives.
