Meiji Holdings Co  (OTCPK:MEJHF) 12-1 Month Momentum % Explanation

Momentum investing is a trading strategy in which investors buy securities that are rising and sell before the prices start to go back down. The 12-1 Month Momentum % measures the total return to a stock over the past twelve months, but ignores the previous month.

The reason why the most recent month’s return dropped related to the short-term reversal effect associated with momentum. There is an academic finding that short-term momentum actually has a reversal effect, whereby the previous winners (measured over the past months) do poorly the next month, while the previous losers do well the next month. In order to eliminate the short-term reversal effect, the previous month return was not included in this calculation.

Meiji Holdings Co (Meiji Holdings Co) Business Description

Traded in Other Exchanges
Address
4-16, Kyobashi 2-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, JPN, 104-0031
Meiji Holdings was established in April 2009 as a merged entity of Meiji Dairies, Japan's largest dairy company, and Meiji Seika, the country's number-two confectionery maker. The amalgamation was propelled by a surge in commodity prices, Japan's aging and shrinking population, and fierce competition. The food business, comprising dairy and confectionery operations, represents more than 80% of the group's sales and profits. The rest mainly comes from the pharmaceutical business, specializing in antibacterial and generic drugs, as well as vaccines. Meiji is looking to step up overseas expansion of the food business, particularly in China, which will serve as a key growth driver over the medium term.
