Daiwa Motor Transportation Hits Day Low at JPY 1,777 Amid Price Pressure

Daiwa Motor Transportation Co., Ltd. experienced significant volatility on October 6, 2025, with the stock plunging by 23.07% and reaching an intraday low of JPY 1,777.00. This sharp decline contrasts with the Japan Nikkei 225, which saw a modest gain of 1.85% on the same day. Over the past week, Daiwa's performance has been notably poor, with a decrease of 25.49%. However, the company has shown resilience over a longer timeframe, boasting a remarkable 139.81% increase over the past year and a year-to-date performance of 150.28%. Despite these gains, the company's financial metrics raise concerns. With a Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of just 0.11%, profitability remains low relative to capital employed. Additionally, the company carries a high debt-to-equity ratio of 0.86, indicating potential financial strain. Daiwa's market capitalization stands at JPY 5,171 million, and it currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 67.00. The stock's dividend yield is relatively low at 0.05%, reflecting its financial positioning within the transport services industry.
