Equity Bottom-Up

Toshiba has decided to implement a company split of its memory business by March 31, 2017. The purpose of the split is to: 1) enable flexible management of NAND flash business, which requires rapid decision-making and heavy investment; and 2) enhance Toshiba’s capital, which is expected to be severely damaged by the possible impairment of goodwill on nuclear power business. The company is considering a capital injection from a third party, which is less than 20% of the memory business.We forecast this year’s operating profit from NAND flash memory to be JPY 160 billion, while Toshiba’s total operating profit is JPY 250 million (excluding possible impairments of goodwill), which implies Toshiba needs to keep control of the business. We retain our fair value estimate of JPY 330 and keep our uncertainty rating as extreme, since we are not yet able to make a reasonable assumption of the potential underlying share base of the company.Analyst: Kazunori Ito

In the 4Q16 earnings conference call, SK Hynix said that it was closely watching the situation surrounding Toshiba's new memory company. This means SK Hynix isn't denying that it is seriously interest ed in 19.9% stake (worth about US$2bil) in Toshiba's new memory company. It wouldn't be hard to know why. SK Hynix is relatively weak in NAND area, and Toshiba's NAND business can complement Hynix' weakness. Moreover, SK Hynix and Toshiba have had a long history of R&amp;D collaboration. Even…
