Makoto Kikuchi Quotations

The repeated safety mishaps highlight a lack of control within the company. I can't look at the company as a possible investment until it can demonstrate clear signs of recovery.

Investors are starting to think the central bank may raise interest rates sooner than expected. That has pushed shares of real-estate companies lower as they usually borrow heavily to expand their property holdings.

The earnings momentum at Kawasaki Kisen and other Japanese shippers has already peaked. It's not good to aggressively invest in the sector at this moment.

The company's revival is still up in the air because Mitsubishi Motors' new models must be attractive enough.
