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.
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.
In response to disappointing Q2 results, a weak performance overseas and a revision down to the Industrial IT Solutions business, NRI shares were sold down -9% on 31 Oct.

Incumbents led a faster service revenue growth in Q1 driven by non-mobile, with Softbank ahead. Industry mobile growth kept steady but the continued divergence in mobile trend between NTT and peers appears to confirm the benefits of integrated financial services. Softbank was the notable share gainer this quarter (1.1% MSR gain sequentially), having grown its mobile ARPU for the first time since FY19.
NTT reported before close today and while revenue was ahead of estimates and guidance, operating income and profit were largely in line with its full year guidance. In contrast to peers, Mobile performance is lagging with ARPU trend not recovering. Separately, the company announced a buyback up to ¥ 200bn (US$ 1.37bn), a positive given the stock’s YTD performance.
