NIPPON STEEL ranks 4th in rising buy predictions from individual investors on Minkabu
NIPPON STEEL CORPORATION <5401> ranked fourth in "rising buy predictions" as of 1:00 p.m. on May 15, according to the "Retail Investors' Predictions (Latest 48 Hours)" compiled by Minkabu.
NIPPON STEEL showed strength amid a sharp decline in the Nikkei Average, rising at one point by 6.6 yen to 562.8 yen. The stock has been in a corrective phase recently, hitting a year-to-date low of 553.4 yen on May 12, but a sense of selling exhaustion has emerged in the near term, with buying observed from a medium- to long-term perspective. While profits continued to decline significantly in the fiscal year ended March 2026, revenue shifted to double-digit growth. Signs of a bottoming out are emerging in the steel industry, and the company, as a leading player, is likely to show a clear recovery in the fiscal year ending March 2027. The PBR stands at 0.52 times, roughly half of its liquidation value, while the dividend yield remains high at around 4.3%. Some sophisticated investors appear to recognize investment appeal in both income gain objectives and contrarian short-term trading strategies.
