Nidec Corporation (6594.T) is in final-stage talks to sell its electronic components subsidiary, Nidec Components, to U.S. private equity firm Carlyle Group for more than ¥100 billion ($636 million), the Nikkei reported. The divestiture would be Nidec's first sale of a major subsidiary and is intended to streamline operations as the Japanese electric motor maker pursues a broader restructuring. Nidec Components was founded in 1967 as Copal Electronics and became a wholly owned Nidec subsidiary in 2014. The company, the world's largest maker of precision motors and a major supplier to automotive and industrial producers, is also reportedly facing a ¥1 trillion ($6.3 billion) impairment charge following a governance scandal. Nidec said Tuesday that President and CEO Mitsuya Kishida had resigned effective immediately. Shares rose 3.4% on Wednesday and were on track to end a two-day decline, while remaining up 11% so far in 2026.
