• Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation (Wabtec) reported strong financial results for the third quarter of 2025, showcasing significant growth in various operational metrics and continued strategic progress.
• The company’s performance was characterized by an 8% increase in sales compared to the previous year, reaching $2.9 billion.

• Honeywell will complete the tax-free spin-off of its Advanced Materials division as Solstice Advanced Materials Inc. (Nasdaq: SOLS) on October 30, 2025.
• We value HON(ex-SOLS) at $228/share on a SOTP basis. We value Solstice at $60/share based on 10.9× FY2026E EBITDA of $1.0B, implying ~31% upside to the when-issued price of $45.75
• SOLS has greater upside potential at current levels. Given its smaller market capitalization, index rebalancing flows post-listing could trigger near-term technical selling pressure, which may provide even better entry point.

• Kosaido is undergoing a significant business transformation, shifting its focus from the mature printing industry to high-growth areas, particularly the funeral services and asset consulting businesses. This strategic pivot is driven by Japan’s aging population, which presents a substantial market opportunity for end-of-life services.
• The Funeral Services segment, operated through its subsidiary Tokyo Hakuzen, is the primary growth engine. Holding a dominant market share of cremations in Tokyo’s 23 wards, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the increasing mortality rate. Expansion of funeral hall capacity is a key pillar of their growth strategy.
• While the legacy Information (printing) and Human Resources segments face challenges, management is focused on cost optimization and a return to profitability. The nascent Asset Consulting business, which provides inheritance-related services, is a promising high-margin venture that leverages synergies with the funeral business.
