Nidec shares plunge 20% after auditor withholds opinion
Original: Nidec shares have plummeted as much as 20% in Tokyo after the Japanese motor maker's auditor declined to give an opinion
Shares in Japanese motor maker Nidec fell as much as 20% in Tokyo trading after its auditor declined to give an opinion on the company's long-awaited financial statements. The refusal to sign off on the results has shaken investor confidence in one of Japan's best-known industrial groups, triggering a sharp sell-off in the stock.
Why now: The sudden and steep share price fall stems from an unusual auditor refusal to sign off on Nidec's delayed financial results, raising doubts about its accounting.
