Taiheiyo Cement Corp. Hits Day Low Amid Price Pressure at JPY 4,164.00

Taiheiyo Cement Corp. experienced a notable decline today, with the stock dropping by 5.2% as it reached an intraday low of JPY 4,164.00. This performance stands in contrast to the Japan Nikkei 225, which saw a modest decrease of 0.58% on the same day.
Over the past week, Taiheiyo Cement has shown a positive trend, gaining 10.87%, although its one-month performance reflects a more modest increase of 5.06%. Year-to-date, the stock has risen by 16.34%, but its annual performance of 22.66% lags behind the Nikkei 225's 30.08% gain.

The company, classified within the building products industry, has a market capitalization of JPY 492,859 million and a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.00. However, it faces challenges with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.53 and has reported stagnant net sales growth of just 0.27% annually over the past five years. The latest financial results indicate a net profit of JPY 6,821 million, contributing to concerns about its long-term growth prospects.
