Japan Electronics Company News (Page 2)

Earnings, deals and disclosures from Japan's listed electronics companies, in English.

  1. Mitsubishi Electric Agrees to Pay $1.4bn for the Software Behind 60% of US Power Generation

    Mitsubishi Electric will pay a base $1.4bn for Oklahoma-based PCI Energy Solutions, whose trading and dispatch platforms already sit behind three-fifths of US power output, as the company chases a ¥200bn smart-energy revenue target by fiscal 2030.

  2. OKI Locks In 60% Stake as It Carves Out Its ATM Business Into a Hitachi Joint Venture

    Oki Electric will transfer its ATM and automated-equipment business into Hitachi Channel Solutions for newly issued shares plus a cash-funded top-up, reaching a 60% stake from October 1, 2026, while the profit impact for the year after next stays under review.

  3. Onto Innovation Becomes Rigaku Holdings' Top Shareholder as Carlyle-Linked Fund's Stake Shrinks to 0.29%

    A U.S. semiconductor-metrology company now holds 27% of the Tokyo-listed instrument maker after a Carlyle-linked fund's voting stake fell from 27.29% to 0.29%, while a separate asset manager crossed the 10% disclosure threshold the same week.

  4. Sony Makes Non-Binding Bid to Fully Acquire Lens Maker Tamron

    Tamron confirms it received a non-binding proposal from Sony to become a wholly owned Sony Group subsidiary and has formed a special committee, a day after a Japanese business outlet reported the approach.

  5. Tamura Pays ¥9.5bn for 80% of Italy's EMG Power Electric to Chase AI Data-Center Power Demand

    Tamura is buying 80% of Italy's EMG Power Electric for about ¥9.5bn through its European subsidiary, adding medium-voltage transformer technology it plans to funnel through an expanding Mexico factory built for North America's AI data-center boom.

  6. JR East Doubles Its Stake in Rail Supplier Toyo Denki as Rare-Earth Risk Clouds Outlook

    East Japan Railway is lifting its holding in traction-equipment maker Toyo Denki Seizo to 20% through a ¥1.16bn treasury-share placement, and the supplier is sweetening its dividend even as it guides for a double-digit profit drop next year on China's rare-earth export curbs.

  7. Renesas flags material impact from timing-business sale to SiTime

    Renesas says the disposal, agreed in February and expected to close by the end of 2026, will significantly affect its financial position, results and cash flow, though the filing excerpt gives no price or quantified effect.

  8. ASTI to sell 32-year China auto-electronics unit

    The move: ASTI will sell its wholly owned Zhejiang manufacturing subsidiary, a maker of wire harnesses and ECUs, after saying slower Chinese growth and stronger domestic rivals made the unit a worse use of management resources.

  9. Hirayama folds Top Engineering into its main manufacturing support unit

    The group will absorb Top Engineering into Hirayama on Jan. 1, 2027, with no merger ratio because both units are wholly owned. Management says the point is to combine manufacturing-floor improvement know-how with engineering capability and widen a higher-profit model.

  10. TDK exits Actutek after share transfer, ending 100% indirect ownership

    A share transfer effective June 1 ended TDK's 100% indirect ownership of the Taiwan company, which makes camera module actuators, and stripped it of specified-subsidiary status. The filing does not identify the buyer, price or earnings effect, so for now this is corporate-structure news rather than a finished strategy story.
