An In-Depth Study of 50 Japanese and U.S. Stocks｜The future of new businesses at eight information and telecommunications service companies, including SoftBank and GMO...

What about information and telecommunication services from major players such as NTT, KDDI, Z Holdings, and GMO Internet Group?

Although stock prices vary from company to company, we can expect stable, if not spectacular, movements in the stock price of these companies, as they are social infrastructure. NTT, among others, announced a 1:25 stock split in May 2023 and a 13th consecutive fiscal year of dividend increases. It has definitely made it easier for individual investors to buy.

Meanwhile, the SoftBank Group, which is active in the fintech, mobility, and e-commerce and logistics investment businesses, posted a consolidated investment loss of 690 billion yen and a net loss of 477.6 billion yen for the first quarter of FY03/2024. However, the losses are shrinking, and further improvement could make the stock price interesting in 2024.
