In this quarterly strategy report, we look to evaluate where we are with regards the bull market conditions, and where those indicators might be headed, factoring in the downside risks, from Trump tariffs and the US economy, BoJ actions, Japanese earnings and valuations.
Having started FY24 with its strongest Q1 yet, healthcare equipment provider Sysmex continued its impressive earnings performance into the Q2. Analyst Nia Dokova views the full-year guidance as conservative as the firm is making progress in the shift to direct sales in the Americas and EMEA.
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...
Since the end of 2021, Sysmex’s shares have declined by almost half and are now back to where they were in 2015. The stock is trading at a slight premium to the market, and there is some risk that the firm doesn’t quite deliver on the punchy sell-side earnings expectations. However, if, as we expect, it gets close, then that should at least justify what premium still exists.
With the shares down 41% YTD, Pelham Smithers flags test equipment maker Sysmex as a weak yen beneficiary. Moreover, while Covid has been something of a mixed blessing for the firm, even if Covid-related testing slows, it probably frees up resources elsewhere in the healthcare market, which would lead to increased testing elsewhere. Valuations are also less demanding than global peers.
The independent financial analyst theScreener just lowered the general evaluation of SYSMEX (JP), active in the Medical Equipment industry. As regards its fundamental valuation, the title now shows 0 out of 4 stars while market behaviour can be considered moderately risky. theScreener believes that the title remains under pressure due to the loss of a star(s) and downgrades its general evaluation to Slightly Negative. As of the analysis date March 25, 2022, the closing price was JPY 9,046.00 and...

Big-picture technicals offer a compelling outlook for equities -- in the long-run. Despite arguably stretched trends, especially in the U.S. and EM, one indicator in particular keeps us optimistic: monthly charts. What is likely the least-used timeframe, monthly charts (> 20 years) offer the most clarity. And what's clear right now is: (1) Europe is on the doorstep of breaking above secular resistance; (2) Japan is breaking out above secular resistance; (3) and EM already has. Speaking of EM, w...
