Japan Market Close: Nikkei Average Extends Gains for 3rd Day Led by Semiconductor Stocks, Individual Stock Performance Diverges 日本市場引け: 半導体株主導で日経平均が3日続伸、個別材料が明暗分ける
The Japanese market on the 29th saw the Nikkei average significantly rise for the third consecutive day, supported by strong movements in semiconductor-related stocks. However, the overall market showed mixed performance with individual stocks driven by specific news, and movements to assess geopolitical risks and the outcome of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting were also observed.
Market Overview
The closing price of the Nikkei average was ¥64,659.47, up ¥705.28 (1.10%) from the previous day, showing a firm trend. The Tokyo Stock Price Index (TOPIX) also rebounded, closing at 4,003.28 points, up 11.57 points (0.29%) from the previous day. The US market's decision to keep interest rates unchanged at the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting the previous day provided a sense of relief, leading to a buying-led market.
Trading by Investor Type
Data on trading by investor type for the 29th has not yet been released at this time, based on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's announcement schedule. This data is usually published the following Thursday for the previous week.
Movement of Featured Stocks
Advantest (6857), a major manufacturer of semiconductor testing equipment, surged and significantly boosted the Nikkei average. This was driven by an upward revision of its earnings forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2027 and strong demand for AI (Artificial Intelligence) semiconductors. The company announced its second upward revision of earnings this fiscal year and also declared a share buyback, earning investor praise.
On the other hand, Komatsu (6301), a leading heavy machinery manufacturer, sharply declined in the afternoon, hitting a low not seen in about three months. Although the company also revised its full-year operating profit forecast upward, it did not reach market consensus, leading to profit-taking selling. The upward revision falling short of market expectations was a factor in the stock price decline.
Pigeon (7956), a manufacturer of baby care products, continued to fall for the third consecutive day, despite Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities raising its target stock price. While the long-term business model's strengths, such as recovering market share in China and premiumization in Japan, were recognized, other factors took precedence in the market.
Market Evaluation and Future Outlook
Today's Japanese market saw individual stock news, such as Advantest, driven by strong demand for AI-related semiconductors, leading the Nikkei average's rise. However, a cautious stance was also evident in the overall market, with half of the companies listed on the Tokyo Prime Market declining due to uncertainty surrounding the Middle East situation and anticipation of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting results, which began today. Going forward, the market will likely continue to focus on the trends in geopolitical risks, the outcome of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting, and earnings announcements from domestic and international companies.

市場概況
日経平均株価の終値は64,659円47銭となり、前日比705円28銭（1.10％）高と堅調に推移しました。 東証株価指数（TOPIX）も反発し、終値は4,003.28ポイント、前日比11.57ポイント（0.29％）高で取引を終えました。 前日の米国市場で連邦公開市場委員会（FOMC）が政策金利を据え置いたことが安心感につながり、買い先行の展開となりました。
投資主体別売買動向
本日29日の投資主体別売買動向に関するデータは、東京証券取引所の公表スケジュールに基づき、現時点ではまだ発表されておりません。通常、このデータは翌週の木曜日に前週分が公表されます。
注目銘柄の動向
半導体検査装置大手のアドバンテスト（6857）は、急騰し日経平均を大きく押し上げました。 これは、2027年3月期の業績予想を上方修正したことと、AI（人工知能）向け半導体に対する旺盛な需要が背景にあります。 同社は今期2度目の業績上方修正を発表し、自社株買いも表明したことで、投資家の評価を集めました。
一方で、建機大手のコマツ（6301）は午後に急落し、約3カ月ぶりの安値をつけました。 同社も通期営業利益予想を上方修正したものの、市場コンセンサスには届かなかったため、失望売りが出たと見られます。 上方修正が市場の期待値を下回ったことが、株価下落の要因となりました。
育児用品メーカーのピジョン（7956）は、モルガン・スタンレーMUFG証券が目標株価を引き上げたにもかかわらず、3日続落となりました。 中国市場でのシェア回復や国内でのプレミアム化など、中長期的なビジネスモデルの強さは評価されたものの、市場では他の要因が優先された形です。
市場の評価と今後の展望
本日の日本市場は、AI関連半導体への力強い需要を背景としたアドバンテストなどの個別材料が、日経平均株価の上昇を牽引しました。 しかし、市場全体では中東情勢の不透明感や、本日始まった日本銀行の金融政策決定会合の結果を見極めたいとの思惑から、東証プライム銘柄の半数が下落するなど、慎重な姿勢も見られました。 今後の市場は、地政学リスクの動向に加え、日銀の金融政策決定会合の結果、そして国内外企業の決算発表が引き続き注目されるでしょう。

Advantest's earnings are good, which is exciting, but... I guess Japan is also boring without semiconductors. Korea is similar.아드반테스트 실적이 좋다니 신나긴 한데... 일본도 결국 반도체 아니면 재미없나 보네. 우리나라도 비슷하고.
The saying that there's nothing to see without semiconductors, I thought it was just us, but it's the same in Japan. Well, the market's closed, so I should rest well today. Ah, what should I eat tonight?반도체 빼면 볼 게 없다는 말, 우리나라만 그런 줄 알았는데 일본도 마찬가지네. 뭐 그래도 장 마감했으니 오늘은 푹 쉬어야지. 아, 오늘 저녁 뭐 먹지.
