The latest update is out from KATITAS CO ( (JP:8919) ).

KATITAS Co., Ltd. said media reports on TOTO Ltd.’s suspension of unit bath orders are expected to have only a limited direct impact on its results, as the company has not recently placed orders for TOTO-made unit baths. It noted, however, that it is monitoring broader supply conditions for residential equipment in case other manufacturers introduce similar order restrictions.

The company added that even if other suppliers were to halt unit bath orders, the effect on earnings should remain relatively small because most properties it acquires already have baths installed, allowing continued use with proper disclosure. KATITAS can also resort to post-installation or additional construction after property delivery, a strategy it successfully used during COVID-19-related supply disruptions, which likewise had only a limited impact on performance.

The most recent analyst rating on (JP:8919) stock is a Hold with a Yen2685.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on KATITAS CO stock, see the JP:8919 Stock Forecast page.
