Compared to the TOPIX, Which Has Clear Criteria, the TSE Prime Market Appears Vague

By Aki Matsumoto

  • To avoid being delisted from the TOPIX components, a company must reduce its cross-holdings and raise its stock price. Strengthening engagement with investors is also an effective strategy.
  • While the TOPIX is clearly defined based on market capitalization of free-floating shares, the TSE Prime Market exhibits a certain ambiguity that seems to favor listed companies over investors.
  • Stocks that are removed from TOPIX will need to attract investor attention through outperforming earnings more than ever before. They will also lose opportunities for engagement with domestic institutional investors.
