Nidec stock faces a JPY 1.0 trillion impairment risk

Nidec stock was trading at EUR 40.16 at Lang & Schwarz on September 29, 2026 at 4:33 p.m. CEST, down 1.62 percent from the prior close of EUR 40.82. The pressure follows reports of a JPY 1.0 trillion impairment estimate and an imminent change at the top of the Japanese motor maker.
Accounting charge reshapes the outlook
According to Reuters on September 29, 2026, Nidec President and CEO Mitsuya Kishida decided to step down, with a resignation possible on the same date. The report also said the board intends to replace him to clarify accountability for the company problems.
Reuters reported that the expected impairment exceeds JPY 600.0 billion and could reach JPY 1.0 trillion, mainly because of traction motor systems for electric vehicles. Nidec had anticipated an impairment loss of JPY 250.0 billion in March, making the reported estimate four times that earlier figure.
First-half profit shows the strain
In the first half of fiscal year 2026, Nidec reported revenue of JPY 1.3023 trillion and operating profit of JPY 21.1 billion, according to Biggo. Operating profit fell JPY 99.4 billion year on year, a sharper deterioration than the revenue figure alone suggests.
The immediate checkpoint is regulatory and financial disclosure. Investing.com reported that Nidec's annual securities report was due by September 30, 2026, while the next earnings release was scheduled for October 26, 2026. Those dates put the accounting correction ahead of the next regular earnings update.
Nidec stock remains under pressure
Nidec was last quoted at JPY 2,250.00 on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 29, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. JST, after the session. Its 52-week Tokyo range was JPY 1,797.00 to JPY 2,941.00, while its market capitalization stood at JPY 2.6 trillion on September 29, 2026.
At Lang & Schwarz, the stock stood at EUR 40.16 in trading on September 29, 2026 at 4:33 p.m. CEST, down 1.62 percent versus the Lang & Schwarz prior close of EUR 40.82 on September 28, 2026. The next material valuation test is the size of the impairment and the credibility of the governance response.
