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.

BayCurrent (6532 JT) is a pure-play Japanese IT and management consultancy company which is growing sales faster than the broader market, thanks to robust hiring, and a strategy of increasing the number of its core clients. Increasing hiring by around +20% YoY is limiting utilisation growth, but we expect gradual improvement from FY26.

The selloff driven by the US’ unprecedented and perplexing tariff plans has liberated many investors of profits this year. Given the fluidity of market conditions, we highlight a number of domestic-focused stocks such as CENT, CD, DFI, HLA, PANU, PROP, RFMD, SSG and SIE as well as Singapore-focused REITS such as CDLHT, FEHT, FCT, KREIT, LREIT and PREIT. In addition, the MAS’ equity market review should inject much needed liquidity in 2H25. We lower our STI target to 3,720 (previously 4,115).
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.
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.
