Forex worries and China worries combined to thump the Murata share price a few years back. Pelham Smithers draws lessons from 2015~16 in assessing the prospects for Murata's share performance in the short to medium term. The Murata “story”, combining as it does 5G and xEV booms, is an exciting one on paper, but the prosaic truth is that 5G and xEV are several years from being mainstream and meanwhile these other factors pose a risk.
