2. Shareholding Distribution and Proportions (*1)
3. Shareholding Ranking (*1)
4. Average Number of Shares Held per Shareholder (*1)
■ Summary of Shareholder Trends
With the completion of Period 3 share allocation, the company now has 1,014,297 shareholders, ranking 6th among Japanese corporations. Starting from 9th place in Period 1 and 8th in Period 2, the company has consistently improved its ranking despite overall growth among top shareholder-heavy firms.
Regarding shareholding distribution, shareholders holding 50 shares or fewer now account for 43.4% of the total, driven by a significant influx of new shareholders. Notably, 69.0% of new shareholders have no prior stock investment experience, indicating that Kabuand is serving as an entry point to broaden public participation in stock ownership. Meanwhile, shareholders holding 3,001 shares or more have increased from 51,349 (6.3%) in Period 2 to 74,463 (7.3%) in Period 3—approximately a 1.5-fold increase. This reflects growing long-term engagement through repeated service usage and share exchange participation.
Beyond increasing shareholder numbers, Kabuand emphasizes deepening individual shareholder engagement. The average number of shares held per shareholder has risen from 762 in Period 2 to 800 in Period 3. This growth, even amid a surge in new shareholders, demonstrates that users are continuing to engage with the service and deepen their relationship with the company.
■ Enhancing Shareholder Experience: Visualizing Asset Growth
Coinciding with the emergence of new Period 3 shareholders, the company has updated its platform to allow shareholders to visually track changes in their asset value. By displaying the number of shares acquired and their estimated value (*2) from each of the first three share exchanges, shareholders can personally experience how rising issue prices and increasing share counts impact their holdings.
Moving forward, Kabuand will continue to go beyond mere share distribution by offering experiences that enable shareholders to tangibly feel the company’s growth as personal wealth creation and economic participation.
