PSA Internet / eCommerce: CyberAgent (4751 JT) in FY23 is Different from CyberAgent in FY21

Following the recent weakness of CyberAgent’s share price post the Sep quarter results, analyst Thao Nguyen reviews the company’s different businesses. While consolidated OP may stay flat in the near term, the firm will likely have succeeded in turning ABEMA into its third earnings pillar by FY23. This will mitigate the company’s reliance on the volatile Game business, and in the meantime, the Internet Ad business remains firm. The stock is on undemanding valuations; EV/OP on our FY23 OP estimate is 9x.
