PSA Technology: Is Robotics to be Part of the Current Semiconductor Bo...
News that Fanuc (6954 JT) is integrating Nvidia’s (NVDA US) robotic tools into its own software solutions is a reminder that, for all the focus on where large language models like ChatGPT can take us, these solutions remain very much in the virtual realm. The next big breakthrough in AI would come when such models can deliver fully spatially aware, autonomous mobile products, be these self-drive cars or industrial robots, and to do so at a price and quality that is commercially viable. Analysts ...

PSA Japan Market Strategy: Market Implications from Takaichi's Suprise...
The Japanese stock market’s take on the surprise victory of Sanae Takaichi in the LDP Presidential race suggested that it wasn’t so much a repeat of the “Koizumi Boom” from 20 years ago, but rather a brand new “Takaichi Boom”, and we saw the Nikkei 225 jump +4.8% to just under 48,000. Pelham Smithers compares and contrasts the impact and flags “Takaichi Stocks”. Importantly, market valuations suggest further upside.

PSA Strategy: Japan Stock Market Quarterly for 2025 Q4
For almost three years the Nikkei 225 has been tracking its performance from the 2003~5 bull market, albeit at levels some 3.3x higher In this report, Pelham Smithers discusses the similarities and asks three key questions: (1) Can we continue to track 2005 through the rest of the year; (2) Whatever happens in Q4, should we fear or be hopeful for 2026? And (3) Who are the upcoming winners and losers.

Vermilion Int'l Compass: Global Equity Strategy
Major Top for the U.S. Dollar (DXY) = Risk-On Our outlook remains bullish on global equities (MSCI ACWI). We have been bullish since early-November 2023, save for a two month period from late-July to late September 2024 when we were neutral. We discussed in last week's Int'l Compass (Feb. 13, 2025) how both ACWI-US and the S&P 500 were coiling just below all-time highs, likely setting up for major breakouts; the breakouts are here. We also believe the U.S. dollar (DXY) and Treasury yields have ...

With the FY24 Q2 performance deemed a miss on consensus estimates, Pelham Smithers reviews the divisional performance and notes the improving contributions by the IT Services segment.

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...
