After the generally poor FY25 HI results posted by Japan's auto assemblers, what will the H2 picture look like? In this report, Julie Boote discusses the key earnings drivers and the outlook for individual assemblers; she concludes that FY25 will not be good, after what was an unsatisfactory FY24.
While the FY25 Q3 results constituted a beat, they came in quite close to what the share price implied. However, the guidance for Q4 surprised on the upside. Pelham Smithers reviews the performance and outlook, with a readacross to beneficiaries in Japan and the numbers from China.
Sony’s FY25 Q2 OP at ¥429bil (+10% YoY) came in ahead of consensus at ¥390bil and our forecast of ¥410bil. The firm raised its full-year OP target, also ahead of consensus, and for good measure, has thrown in a ¥100bil share buyback; not exactly meaningful on ¥26tril market cap, but at least a gesture. Pelham Smithers reviews the performance but has concerns on how far Sony can further push out the envelope.
