Atsushi Ikeda has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Nippon Paint Holdings Co’s potential for growth. The company is undergoing a transformation under its ‘asset assembler’ model, which positions it well for high growth. This business model is seen as a significant competitive advantage, allowing the company to efficiently manage and integrate assets.
Additionally, Nippon Paint’s core decorative paints business remains largely unaffected by reciprocal tariffs, which is a positive factor in the current economic climate. The stabilization of petrochemical raw material prices further supports the company’s profitability. These elements combined suggest a promising outlook for Nippon Paint, justifying the Buy rating.
