Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Shiseido Company (4911 JP)’s valuation multiples have come down a lot over the last year. However, they don’t seem genuinely cheap with FY+2 consensus EV/OP at 25.4x.
Meanwhile, Shiseido’s position in the Chinese market is weakening and there are also risks such as earnings misses and write-offs.
Thus, we think there’s more downside to Shiseido, whose share price may seem cheap after declining by more than 35% during the past 10 months of this year.
