Shares in Seiko Group Corporation fell 11.7% on Wednesday after the company said its second-half profit would be half of the full-year forecast, a trigger that sent the stock to the daily limit down. The drop erased gains from the Nikkei 225’s third consecutive day of rises.
Profit plan sparks limit down
Seiko Group’s stock dropped to the ‘stop-low’ price during Wednesday’s trading session, local media reported. The fall followed an earnings update in which the company stated that the second half of its fiscal year would account for only half of the previously projected profit. This guidance came despite an earlier upward revision to the full-year outlook, which failed to reassure the market.
The company’s announcement drove the share price sharply lower, with the stock closing near its daily floor. None of the reports reviewed by Falling Shares gave a reason for the fall beyond the profit guidance itself.
Market context and volatility
The broader market rose on the day, with the Nikkei 225 gaining 789 yen to close at 61,248 yen. This marked the index’s third consecutive day of gains. By Falling Shares’ measure, the stock’s move was largely company-specific, with 3.6% of the total 7.0% shift attributed to firm-specific factors rather than the broader market’s 3.4% rise.
