Sun Capital Management Hits Day Low at JPY 36 Amid Price Pressure

Sun Capital Management Corp. experienced significant volatility on February 24, 2026, with the stock declining by 7.69% and reaching an intraday low of JPY 36.00. This performance stands in contrast to the Japan Nikkei 225, which fell by only 1.12% on the same day. Over the past week, Sun Capital has mirrored this downward trend, also recording a 7.69% decline, while the broader index showed a modest decrease of 0.2%. Despite a strong performance over the past year, where the stock surged by 80%, recent financial metrics indicate underlying challenges. The company reported an operating loss, and its net sales for the half-year period decreased by 12.77%. Additionally, raw material costs have surged by 155.82% year-over-year, contributing to a negative EBITDA situation. Sun Capital's inventory turnover ratio is notably low at 0.47 times, reflecting potential inefficiencies in inventory management. With a market capitalization of JPY 17,526 million, the company operates within the capital markets industry, but its long-term growth prospects appear constrained, as evidenced by a return on equity of -14.00%.
