Suzuki Motor – Increasing Downside Risk in India

Since analyst Julie Boote’s June 8, 2016 report flagging the upside for Suzuki as the India market looked set to recover and her view that the firm was successfully moving up the value curve, the shares have had an impressive rally – rising 173%, outperforming both Topix and the TPTRAN Index by 119% and 131%, respectively. While the current sales figure continue to impress, Julie flags several concerns ahead, suggesting a risk of reassessment.
