  • Why Shiseido (4911) Never Worked as a Turnaround Stock


Why Shiseido (4911) Never Worked as a Turnaround Stock

By Michael Allen

  • Shiseido’s share price dropped 70% over the past six years, compared to a 110% gain by Topix, but the stock just crossed its 200-day MAV. Time for another look?  
  • In our view, the stock lacks most of the required criteria for a successful turnaround, and reeks of all the important criteria for failure. 
  • Shiseido’s stock already prices in a 50% earnings recovery. To be compelling, the forecast needs to be 4 standard deviations above the mean, or the price needs to decline 30%.
