PSA Autos / New Mobility: Toyota (7203 JT) Keeps Calm – but Should The...
Toyota Motor is facing another challenging year, as it continues to invest heavily in new technologies, is supporting its suppliers, while having to deal with the uncertainty over the impact of US import tariffs. Its FY25 guidance numbers do not yet fully reflect the potential costs related to these duties, risking an earnings downgrade later this year. Criticism over its handling of the Toyota Industries privatisation is mounting, with questions raised over corporate governance. Analyst Julie B...

Japanese Telcos Q4 FY24 review: Inflationary telco market
Japan’s mobile sector accelerated again in Q4 and we think is heading to above inflation. With both KDDI and DCM recently announcing price increases the environment is increasingly benign and should be helped by NTT’s recent acquisition of SBI Sumishin Net Bank. Our recent trip to Japan highlighted how positive the environment is; NTT stays our preferred pick, with KDDI closely behind.

As has been widely rumoured, NTT has offered to acquire up to 66% of SBI Sumishin Bank (7163-JP), in a bid to strengthen its financial services offering. The offer price (¥3,615) represents a 10% premium to yesterday’s price, but actually around 10% below today’s closing price.

As rumoured, NTT has offered to buy out the minorities (~42.3%) of NTT Data via a tender offer, at a 34% premium, or ¥4,000 per share. This is a slightly lower premium than we would have expected and implies a transaction value for the minority stake of ¥2.4tn (USD 16.5bn). Quick thoughts below.

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.

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.

PSA IT Services: NRI (4307 JT) FY24 Q2 Results
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. Lindsay Whipp suggests that close attention to this troubled areas must be monitored and until improvements are evidence, the rich valuations are not justified.
