Kota Yuzawa has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that point to both earnings normalization and structural improvement at Aisin. He highlights that, despite a recent downward adjustment to FY3/27 forecasts driven mainly by geopolitical risks, the company is steadily growing sales of electrified vehicle components and is now in a position where FY3/28 earnings can be more appropriately reflected in valuation.
Yuzawa also underscores a marked recovery in the brake business, where a shift to a new product generation is expected to yield sizable annual profit gains, and emphasizes that the stock trades at unusually depressed valuation levels on both earnings and book value metrics, even after stripping out Toyota shareholdings. In light of these drivers, he raises the 12‑month price target from ¥3,100 to ¥3,200, which implies substantial upside from current levels and supports the upgraded Buy recommendation.
