The stock reached an intraday low of JPY 1,686.00, reflecting a challenging trading environment. Over the past week, Nikon's performance has been notably poor, with a decline of 12.49%, contrasting sharply with the Japan Nikkei 225, which fell only 0.64% during the same period. The company's one-month performance also shows a decrease of 11.92%, while its year-to-date performance stands at -2.78%.
