On 30 October, an FT article appeared which pushed Fujitec Co Ltd (6406 JP) shares sharply higher. The headline? "Japanese lift maker Fujitec explores sale to private equity"

The next day, mid-day, Fujitec "corrected" the record, saying the articles (FT and others, presumably) contained "inaccuracies", including that "Fujitec is working to find a buyer."
