Earlier this year, Tokyu REIT secured a new ¥3,000,000,000 floating-rate, seven-year unsecured loan and used it alongside cash on hand to repay a ¥3,500,000,000 maturing facility, trimming interest-bearing debt by ¥500,000,000 and pushing out its repayment schedule. This refinancing not only lowers financial leverage but also lengthens the debt maturity profile, which can support more resilient funding and risk management for unitholders over the medium term. We’ll now examine how Tokyu...

See our latest...

Kakaku.com (TSE:2371) has quietly slipped over the past month, even as its core comparison and review platforms keep delivering double digit revenue and profit growth. That disconnect is where the story gets interesting for investors. See our latest analysis for Kakaku.com.
