As of 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. <6976> ranked third in surging "sell predictions" on the 48-hour individual investor sentiment index compiled by financial media platform Minkabu.

In Tokyo trading, TAIYO YUDEN slipped for the first time in four sessions, snapping a three-day winning streak. The stock had rallied to an all-time high of 17,075 yen on Monday, driven by expectations of booming multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) demand from expanding artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. However, mounting caution over the stock's rapid short-term overheating triggered profit-taking, fueling the spike in bearish retail sentiment.

At its May 8 earnings briefing, the electronic component manufacturer announced plans to expand MLCC production capacity by approximately 10% for the fiscal year ending March 2027. Driven by robust order momentum, factory utilization rates have climbed to around 90% recently, up from just under 85% in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 2026. The company expects utilization to reach roughly 95% from the fiscal second quarter onward.
