Rating:71Outperform
Price Target:
¥11,448.00
▲(39.10% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:06/02/26
The score is driven primarily by improved financial performance in 2026 (growth, margin, ROE, and leverage recovery), supported by strong technical momentum. This is tempered by profitability/cash-flow volatility across the cycle and a valuation profile that is only moderate with a low dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Revenue rebound
The sharp 2026 revenue acceleration (+10.9%) indicates renewed end-market demand and improved commercial traction. A durable top-line rebound supports better capacity utilization and revenue visibility, enabling sustainable operating leverage and more predictable cash generation over the next several months.
Negative Factors
Earnings cyclicality
The company has demonstrated pronounced cyclical earnings — a loss in 2023 and much weaker margins in 2024–25 — which makes profitability and cashflows unpredictable. Persistent cyclicality raises planning and capital-allocation risk and can amplify downside pressure during sector slowdowns over the medium term.
