Mitsubishi Corporation <8058> fell sharply by 70.5 to 2566. Nomura Securities downgraded its investment judgment from "buy" to "neutral," and lowered the target stock price from 3620 yen to 2950 yen. The slump in raw coal market conditions, along with the decline in production volume, has caused a negative impact exceeding expectations, leading to a decrease in profit levels. While the strong cash generation capability, shareholder returns, and high dividend yield may help support the stock price, the roe level for the fiscal year ending March 26 is 7%, compared to the sector average of 11%.
