On April 9, 2026, Nikkei and JPX Market Innovation & Research announced that Mitsubishi Logisnext will be removed from the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 on April 15, following its designation as 'to be delisted' by the Tokyo Stock Exchange [1]. The removal will not be accompanied by the addition of a new constituent on that day, resulting in a temporary reduction in the number of index constituents. The index will return to its standard 400 members in August, when the next periodic review is conducted [1].
This action reflects the index's rules regarding constituent eligibility and underscores the impact of delisting designations on index composition. No immediate replacement for Mitsubishi Logisnext is planned, which may affect passive investment strategies tracking the JPX-Nikkei Index 400 [1].
The announcement did not provide further details on the reasons for Mitsubishi Logisnext's delisting or any market reactions. There were no forward-looking statements or analyst opinions included in the source [1].
CONCLUSION
Mitsubishi Logisnext's removal from the JPX-Nikkei Index 400, effective April 15, highlights the consequences of a delisting designation by the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The index will temporarily operate with fewer constituents until the next periodic review in August. Investors tracking the index may experience minor adjustments, but no immediate replacement is planned.
