ITOCHU Corp

Berkshire Hathaway has increased its stake in Japanese trading firm Itochu Corp, boosting the company’s shares and sending a vote of confidence to the sector.

Itochu Corporation’s stock price has been stable, but its valuation multiples raise questions about its underlying financial health, sparking concerns about its long-term performance.

Itochu’s quarterly earnings reveal a volatile stock with a moderate valuation, with a 52-week high of ¥8245 JPY and a price-to-earnings ratio of 12.03.

Itochu Corporation has made a bold JPY 1.07 billion investment in renewable energy company TRENDE, but its stock price has been volatile and valuation metrics are mixed, leaving investors wondering about the partnership’s potential impact.

Itochu Corp has abandoned its management buyout plan for Seven & i Holdings, citing inability to secure necessary funding, leaving the convenience store chain with limited options.
