Meaningful If “P/B Below 1x” Is a Change of Mindset that Makes Managers Decide to Take an MBO

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Although it’s important that the quality of companies be maintained and improved through metabolism, the number of listed companies has consistently increased due to the many IPOs and few delistings.
  • Many founders used IPOs as a tax-saving measure, and many managers were not thoughtful enough to increase shareholder profits, which is why there were many IPOs and few delistings.
  • Delisting through MBO or TOB for parent and subsidiary listed subsidiaries is much more effective than “TSE request” in reducing the number of companies with P/B below 1x.
