Growth Market

The Growth Market is one of the Tokyo Stock Exchange's market segments, established for companies with high growth potential whose business track record is still developing.

Positioning

The Growth Market has relatively more lenient listing criteria compared to the Prime Market and Standard Market, but it requires disclosure suited to companies at a growth stage, such as timely disclosure of business plans and progress against them.

Risks

The Growth Market tends to include many companies whose business track record is still developing, which can lead to larger fluctuations in earnings and stock prices. When considering an investment in an individual company, it is important to carefully check factors such as the feasibility of its business plan and its financial condition.
