- As expected, FY Sep-22 results were ahead of guidance. Management is forecasting further growth this fiscal year, but guiding for a YoY decline in operating profit in 2H.
- In addition, the depreciation of the yen, which added 5% to sales at 17% to operating profit last fiscal year, has reversed, economies have weakened and interest rates are up.
- We continue to recommend profit taking. We would like to buy the shares at ¥6,000 – 15% down from the Dec. 9 close.
