Toshiba is escaping with just an inch loss of 0.2% so far, supported by news its Westinghouse Electric subsidiary has won a contract involving two Finland reactors.
Among the few shares on the hike, Yoshinoya bolstered 0.2% on news it will raise financial values on its flagship beef bowl meal, while Kyushu Electric is 0.6% greater after the Nikkei reported the company’s Sendai nuclear plant will be among the first to undergo final checks before reopening.
And then there’s Sharp Corp. The tech major is ignoring the down market to bolster 2.2%, likely according on an anonymously sourced Kyodo News report that the company may join forces with U.S. cable provider Comcast Corp. to offer flat-screen televisions with embedded cable-channel receivers.
