PSA ERP Software / IT Services: Money Forward (3994 JT) and Freee’s (4...
Money Forward (3994 JT) and Freee's (4478 JT) market caps have been converging as the latter starts a recovery from all-time lows. Freee's earlier shift to operating profitability has attracted investor attention, as MF guides for a deceleration in sales growth for its FY25. However, over the long-term, MF is looking more attractive.

PSA Strategy: Japan Stock Market Quarterly 2024 Q4
When the BoJ raised rates in March, it had been 17 years since it had last done so, though the world was very different then. While the July rate hike was unlikely to move the economic needle, the question now is what else might follow the subsequent financial market maelstrom. Pelham Smithers discusses the outlook for Japan’s macro environment, what new fiscal policies the new PM might introduce, how the BoJ might react and the all-important trend in corporate earnings. This then leads us to...

PSA ERP Software / IT Services: Some DX plays considered: Mid-tier IT ...
According to Bloomberg, Japan’s six listed mid-tier IT vendors – that’s NRI (4307 JT), CTC (4739 JT), TIS (3626 JT), SCSK (9719 JT), Biprogy [was Nihon Unisys] (8056 JT) and NS Solutions (2327 JT) – reported 2Q FY22 orders of ¥716bil (+12.4% YoY). The YoY increase, down slightly from the +13.1% YoY growth figure seen in the 1Q FY22 period, Pelham Smithers looks at the relative performance of mid-tier IT vendor orders.

PSA ERP Software: Money Forward (3994 JT) – FY22 Q2 Results
Despite the sharp 13% decline in the shares post the release of Money Forward’s FY22 Q2 results, coming in with a minor sales miss and a larger-than-expected operating loss, the sales miss was not one we are particularly concerned about and the rise in advertising costs had been already flagged. Analyst Lindsay Whipp thinks the company is on the right track but that a close eye needs to be kept on rising personnel costs.

PSA Strategy: Japan Market Strategy for FY22 Q2
The Japanese stock market is in an interesting phase where the Bank of Japan is supporting the bond market rather than the stock market. While this phase lasts, the dollar should remain above ¥120/$ and perhaps strengthen further against the yen. This report looks at what this phase might mean for the Japanese stock market as a whole, and for stock selection. The PSA Focus List has also been updated.
