Nidec stock (ISIN JP3753000003) traded at JPY 2,856.00 on September 18, 2026, up 4.85 percent from the previous close of JPY 2,724.00. Morningstar said on September 17, 2026 that its analysis still sees governance doubts after the companys accounting review.

Governance stays in view

According to Morningstar, Nidec's quote page carried a company report on April 22, 2026 that described potential management involvement in improper accounting and said the issue casts doubt on corporate governance. The same page listed a market cap of JPY 3.27 trillion, a 52-week range of JPY 1,797.00 to JPY 2,922.00, and volume of 8 million shares as of September 18, 2026.

The stock closed within 2.3 percent of that 52-week high on September 18, 2026, which shows how tightly the market is still pricing the risk. Morningstar also showed a normalized P/E of 23.25 and 1.15 billion shares outstanding.

Latest numbers

Morningstar's page also pointed to Nidec's first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2027, published on August 5, 2026, as a current reporting reference. In the same page history, the company said the disclosure came more than 45 days after quarter-end, a timing detail that keeps the quarter in view for investors.

For a more recent operating signal, the company disclosed on September 10, 2026 that it had received notification of litigation on a derivative action, another item that keeps governance at the center of the story. That followed earlier September disclosures on the investigation report and Nidec's response to it.

Stock near its high

Nidec stock closed at JPY 2,856.00 on September 18, 2026, with a day range of JPY 2,727.00 to JPY 2,877.00 and a market cap of JPY 3.27 trillion. The 52-week low stands at JPY 1,797.00, so the share price sat 58.9 percent above that floor and only 2.3 percent below the high of JPY 2,922.00.
