In a July 2025 interview, Marubeni President and CEO Masayuki Omoto discussed the company's mid-term management strategy, which targets a market capitalization of over ¥10 trillion by fiscal year 2030. Omoto described this as a "10X" goal, noting that the company's market cap was ¥1 trillion at the start of a previous phase in 2019. He stated that the company's strategy involves shifting its portfolio toward "strategic platform-type businesses," aiming to allocate approximately ¥1.2 trillion of its ¥1.7 trillion in investments to that category. Omoto also addressed market perceptions, asserting that Marubeni's performance over the past six years has shown a 13% compound growth in net profit and 8% in operating cash flow. He suggested that if the company continues to build on its track record, its valuation could rise from current levels, calling it his role to demonstrate this potential. Omoto emphasized the importance of investment discipline and a global perspective, stating that Marubeni should aim for world-class benchmarks rather than limiting comparisons to domestic peers.
