Socionext Selected for Inclusion in the JPX-Nikkei Index 400
Socionext Inc. announced today that it has been selected for the first time as a constituent of the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 for fiscal year 2026.
The JPX-Nikkei Index 400 is a stock index comprised of companies with strong investment appeal that meet global investment standards, including efficient capital utilization and management practices that emphasize shareholder and investor interests. The index consists of 400 companies selected from stocks listed on the Prime, Standard, and Growth Markets of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Companies are evaluated based on both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Quantitative indicators include three-year average return on equity (ROE), three-year cumulative operating profit, and market capitalization.

Looking ahead, Socionext will continue to pursue sustainable growth and further enhance corporate value while striving to meet the expectations of its shareholders, investors, customers, employees, and other stakeholders.
Driven by its mission, "Together with our global partners, we bring innovation to everyone everywhere," Socionext considers sustainability a key management priority.
