Shares of Nissan Motor Corp rose in Tokyo on Tuesday, after the Japanese automaker and its French partner Renault SA announced a sweeping overhaul of their two-decade-old alliance putting them on equal footing.
"The normalisation of the capital relationship will raise the amount of freedom Nissan has in terms of management, making it easier to adopt a strategy that focuses on the United States, China and emerging markets," Masayuki Kubota, chief strategist at Rakuten Securities,It will see Renault put around 28% of the Japanese automaker in a French trust.
The restructuring addresses historical concerns about shareholder governance, given that Nissan was unable to exercise its voting rights, Nomura analyst Masataka Kunugimoto said in a note. "A relationship where both companies have equal voting rights of 15% in each other should substantially reduce concerns about governance," Kunugimoto said. "Overall, we think this announcement is likely to lead to a reappraisal of Nissan's shares."
Nomura has a "buy" rating on the stock, and a target price of 750 yen, well above Tuesday's high of 468.1 yen. Over the past three years, Nissan's shares have fallen by around 23%, well behind a 24% gain by industry leader Toyota Motor CorpReporting by David Dolan, Daniel Leussink and Rae Wee in Singapore; Editing by Jamie Freed
