Lisa Jiang’s rating is based on Komatsu Ltd.’s innovative strides in developing new technologies, particularly their pioneering work on a hydrogen combustion engine for large dump trucks. This development positions Komatsu as a leader in sustainable industrial machinery, addressing environmental concerns while exploring alternative power sources.
Additionally, Komatsu’s focus on automation, specifically in on-site logistics and the welding process, demonstrates their commitment to enhancing operational efficiency. Although the production output at the Ibaraki plant is expected to remain stable year-over-year, the introduction of new machinery models like the large motor graders suggests a strategic expansion in their product lineup, aimed at supporting mining operations. These factors collectively contribute to a positive outlook for Komatsu’s growth and market position, justifying the Buy rating.
