Japanese Telcos – Q1 FY25 review: Steady start, all eyes on Mobile pri...

Revenue trends were steady as the softer mobile growth was offset by improvement in non-mobile. Softbank remained the outperformer, but this has already been baked in as expectations for Group revenue are sitting ahead of guidance by 3%.

NTT (Buy, TP: ¥215, +40%) Q1 FY25 Quick Take: Soft start; awaiting fo...

NTT printed a rather soft set of Q1 results as Mobile was weaker and Global Solutions was impacted by FX weakness in its Overseas arm. The recovery in Regional Communications offered some encouragement and is likely to remain so as the firm transits from Copper to Fibre over the long run.

PSA Healthcare Technology / Medtech: JMDC (4483 JT) – Could Valuations...

JMDC shares have rallied +56% since 7 April pushing EV/OP above 20x. However, shares are still half of what they were vs the 2021 peak. With the company in good shape to improve margins over the next three years thanks to an improving sales mix and balance of clients, and the IT Service sector being back in vogue in the Japanese market, we think it is possible that valuations might take a back seat.

Japanese Telcos Q4 FY24 review: Inflationary telco market

Japan’s mobile sector accelerated again in Q4 and we think is heading to above inflation. With both KDDI and DCM recently announcing price increases the environment is increasingly benign and should be helped by NTT’s recent acquisition of SBI Sumishin Net Bank. Our recent trip to Japan highlighted how positive the environment is; NTT stays our preferred pick, with KDDI closely behind.

As has been widely rumoured, NTT has offered to acquire up to 66% of SBI Sumishin Bank (7163-JP), in a bid to strengthen its financial services offering. The offer price (¥3,615) represents a 10% premium to yesterday’s price, but actually around 10% below today’s closing price.

As rumoured, NTT has offered to buy out the minorities (~42.3%) of NTT Data via a tender offer, at a 34% premium, or ¥4,000 per share. This is a slightly lower premium than we would have expected and implies a transaction value for the minority stake of ¥2.4tn (USD 16.5bn). Quick thoughts below.
