PSA Electronic Components: Murata (6981 JT) – MLCC Outlook Improving

Murata delivered surprisingly strong FY23 Q2 numbers, as an improvement on the smartphone side kicked in while the electric vehicle [EV] / mobility side remained positive. The question now is whether this becomes the status quo or whether the smartphone side has to compensate for deteriorating EV metrics. Fortunately, the new FY23 company guidance implies only a slight HoH deterioration, while further improvement in the MLCC market is expected, at least in the short term, suggesting there is room for a full year beat.
