Renesas Electronics (6723 JP) today reported full-year 2022 earnings with revenues 0.032% higher than the high end of guidance, which was better than consensus. OP was not as good.
They have guided Q1 only, with revenues up 0.2-4.6%, and non-GAAP GPM -3.9% to 54.5%, and OPM -6.6% to 32.5%. But they also announced a Tender Offer Buyback. 
The buyback is smaller than I'd like, but the company has added cash despite last year's tender offer and repaying bank borrowings. Lots to like here. 


Renesas - Good Results, Great Cashflow, Another Buyback, But Drift.
