Nidec Shares Plunge 18% After PwC Declines to Sign Off on Annual Report
Nidec Corp shares tumbled as much as 18% to 1,888.0 yen on Thursday after auditor PwC declined to vouch for the accuracy of the company's long-delayed annual report. The report, released Wednesday for the fiscal year ending March 2026, showed a substantially wider operating loss of 518.9 billion yen, or $3 billion, driven by an impairment loss of 632 billion yen tied to its automotive and commercial products divisions. PwC added a disclaimer stating it was unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to form an opinion on the financial report, compounding a reputational crisis that began over a year ago when Nidec admitted to improper accounting and governance practices. An independent investigation found misconduct including non-disclosure of impairment losses and delays in recognizing inventory depreciation, and the company acknowledged material weaknesses in internal control, saying it will undertake initiatives to fix governance and compliance. Nidec must submit a report on internal controls to the Tokyo Stock Exchange by end-October or risk de-listing, and on Wednesday it also announced the abrupt resignation of CEO Mitsuya Kishida, with CTO Michio Kaida to take over as CEO and president.

United StatesNidec in final talks to sell components unit to Carlyle for $636 mln
Nidec confirmed on Wednesday that it is in final-stage talks to sell its electronic parts subsidiary, Nidec Components, to U.S. private equity firm Carlyle Group, in a deal expected to be worth more than 100 billion yen, or $636 million. The sale would mark the first divestiture of a major subsidiary by Nidec, the world's largest maker of precision motors, and is largely aimed at accelerating a turnaround by streamlining operations. Nidec Components was founded in 1967 as Copal Electronics and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nidec in 2014. The company is reportedly facing an impairment charge of 1 trillion yen, or $6.3 billion, as it grapples with the fallout of a major governance scandal over the past year, and on Tuesday announced that President and CEO Mitsuya Kishida had resigned effective immediately. Nidec also confirmed it will release its long-delayed third-quarter and fiscal 2026 earnings on Wednesday, and its shares surged 6.5% on Wednesday, on track to snap two days of steep losses.
