YAKULT HONSHA continues sharp rise on speculation of improved capital efficiency from activist pressure following monthly magazine report
YAKULT HONSHA CO.,LTD. <2267> continued its sharp rise, hitting a new high for the year. Last month, it was revealed that U.S. investment fund Dalton Investments, known as an activist shareholder, had sent a document exercising its shareholder proposal rights for the annual general meeting in June. Dalton is proposing the appointment of two directors, and speculation has emerged in the stock market that YAKULT HONSHA's capital efficiency will improve. This has provided strong upward momentum to the stock price. Against this backdrop, the monthly magazine "Sentaku" published an article about YAKULT HONSHA in its May issue. On Sentaku's website, the article was announced under the title "Yoshiaki Murakami also arrives in addition to Dalton." This served as additional catalyst, leading to an inflow of short-term funds into YAKULT HONSHA shares.
