Daiichi Life Unit Bid Rejected While Subaru Plans EV Shift in Europe

Newsquawk ·

Australian insurer Challenger has turned down an acquisition proposal from TAL, an Australian subsidiary of Daiichi Life Group (8750 JT), stating the proposed price was inadequate, though both sides remain open to future talks according to Nikkei. In the automotive sector, Subaru (7270 JT) announced plans to eliminate gasoline vehicle sales across Europe by 2028, shifting completely to an electric vehicle lineup due to rising regulatory expenses. Meanwhile, Sumitomo Corp (8053 JT) intends to grow its battery energy storage business domestically by leveraging experience gathered from the United Kingdom. In energy markets, Japanese and German firms are teaming up on nuclear fusion research, aiming to build a commercial reactor in Germany within the decade, with Kyoto Fusioneering advancing generation technology. Additionally, Japan will invest roughly JPY 100 billion over four years to back next-generation manufacturing.

Subaru's declaration to halt gasoline vehicle sales in Europe by 2028 and transition to an EV-only lineup is a measure to cope with increasing regulatory costs, which is expected to increase the burden of R&D and facility investments in the short term. Going forward, whether EV sales increase in the European market and the performance of battery energy storage system-related businesses will be key indicators determining stock price direction.
