ROE and Valuations of Japanese Stocks Will Improve Through Dissolution of Parent-Subsidiary Listings

  • TOB of a high-profitability subsidiary can have significant impact on both the denominator and numerator of the parent company’s ROE because it uses more cash and will improve profit margins.
  • Even if the “significance of parent-subsidiary listings” is disclosed, few investors believe that the listed subsidiary’s independence is fully ensured, and the dissolution of parent-subsidiary listings will eventually follow.
