Is NISSOL (2327) Still a Card to Be Sold for Cash Generation?

  • While this TOB will have negative impact on Nippon Steel’s balance sheet and profit margins in the short term, the steel market may be moving more significantly than we think.
  • While it would be better for Nippon Steel to make NISSOL 100% subsidiary, I suspect that NISSOL is still being kept as a card to be sold for cash generation.
