PSA Capital Goods, Electrical Equipment: Fujikura (5803 JT) - Still Riding the AI Theme FY24-FY26

Fujikura (5803 JT) - Still Riding the AI Theme FY24-FY26

FY24 OP guidance was raised 17% to ¥104bil (+50% YoY) with the release of record Q2 OP of ¥30.7bil (+69% YoY). Consensus FY24 OP is around ¥99~100bil but we expect Fujikura (5803 JT) to come well above its new guidance as (1) ¥140/USD is assumed by H2 guidance and (2) management conservatively assumes OPMs could fall back as high-margin product production is ramped up. Please see attached report by analyst Will Nestuk for details.
