Kaisha Shikiho Spring 2022

Kaisha Shikiho is a corporate data book offering compact coverage of all listed companies in Japan, including characteristics, performance, financial details, major shareholders, executives, and stock price trends. Since launching in Showa 11 (1936), it has been widely appreciated as the “equity investment bible”—the archetypal corporate dictionary, used for researching business partners—for marketing, and for information on job placements. Due to its established reputation for the neutrality, objectivity, and thoroughness of its reporters’ writing and forecasts, it is used not only in Japan, but worldwide.
With the JapanKnowledge edition, advanced search enables you to narrow down by industry type, in addition to searching by company name or securities code.

The featured articles in the 2022 spring quarter edition are “The Market (Forecast),” “Fluctuations in Market Capitalization Values,” and “Recruitment.” In “The Market (Forecast),” we show the names of domestic listed companies in each of the market segments following the market restructuring in the Tokyo Stock Exchange and Nagoya Stock Exchange scheduled for April 4, 2022. “Fluctuations in Market Capitalization Values” shows fluctuations in market capitalization values compared with one year ago (two years ago in brackets). In “Recruitment,” we publish data including starting salaries for new graduates, initial fiscal year salaries for companies that have introduced the annual salary system, and the number of new recruits companies are expecting to hire in April 2023, as well as the outlook for achieving that number.
