PSA Machinery: Daikin (6367 JT) Update – Strong Pricing & Model Mix Offset Unit Sales Decline; China Less Uncertain

PSA: Daikin - China Uncertainty & Volume vs Pricing & Mix ( Will Nestuk report )

Our forecasts remain above consensus. China was weaker than we expected and remains the main risk. We've penciled in a 20% QoQ decline in sales, but note Daikin's strong record in China and think they can offset lower volumes with pricing, mix and cost reductions. The US & EU are ok, and we've incorporated a Y143/$ level in our assumptions. The shares have corrected a bit bringing valuation premium back down to fair value. Please see attached report by analyst William Nestuk.
