Japanese Telcos & Internet What to expect in 2025: Mixed

After 3 good years, 2024 was not great for the Japanese incumbents; with KDDI and SoftBank rising modestly and NTT falling, but all underperforming the Nikkei. In our view, risk is rising in Mobile, although we continue to see the sector as fundamentally undervalued. Rakuten performed well in 2024, but this was really to do with balance sheet risk easing on the back of cost cutting/refinancing rather than better traction in Mobile.

Compares key performance metrics against industry peers.

Mastercard Incorporated: Update to credit analysis

Our credit view of this issuer reflects its positive secular trends and high business stability, offset by its consistently elevated regulatory and litigation risks.

Japanese Telcos Q2 FY24 review: Stable growth with better profitabili...

Service revenue slowed for the incumbents but stayed in the low-single digit band, with Softbank still ahead followed by NTT. Mobile divergence continues to play out with SB leading the pack and is likely to remain so in our view. Industry EBITDA improved as NTT inflected to growth and led to a strong EBIT beat this quarter.

NU US (Neutral, TP: $13, -15%) Q3 24: NuCel the Telco disrupter, diver...

NU reported numbers which missed a touch at NIM on a combination of lower yields and higher funding cost. The latter continues to be driven by deposit ramp and still relatively low lending in Mexico.

PSA ERP Software / IT Services: NTT Data (9613 JT) FY24 Q2 Results

Analyst Lindsay Whipp takes us through the blowout quarter from NTT Data and reviews the outlook for the full year.

NTT (Buy, TP: ¥240, +59%) Q2 FY24 Quick Take: Decent beat on topline ...

NTT outperformed expectations for revenue and EBIT by 1.6% and 4.8% respectively, backed by another strong quarter for Global Solutions and easing decline in its Fixed Line business.

MELI US (Neutral, TP: $2,000, -5%) MercadoLibre Credit cards drive big...

Top line trends were in-line/slightly ahead, with only a very slight slowdown in local FX GMV. However, there was a miss at both the gross profit level (2.5%) and, to an even greater extent, at operating income (25%, 19% ex-one-off) and net income (18%).

TIM Brasil (Buy, TP: R$23, +43%) - Q3 24: In-line trends, Nubank and p...

TIM has delivered solid Q3s, with a small beat at EBITDAaL combined with lower capex intensity to support very strong OpFCF after leases (+23% y/y) this quarter. Growth trends are naturally easing through the year, which is captured within reiterated FY guidance, though is perhaps spooking the market.
