Idemitsu Kosan on Smartkarma

Top independent analyst, Travis Lundy, sheds light on Idemitsu Kosan‘s recent buyback strategy in a research report on Smartkarma. In his report titled “Idemitsu (5019) – Buyback Announced, Executed, To Be Executed Again; Pressure & Timing,” Lundy discusses the implications of Idemitsu’s announcement of a substantial buyback, representing over 20% of the company’s Max Real World Float. However, concerns arise as crossholders may potentially start selling shares in the next fiscal year, adding a layer of pressure on the timing of the buyback. Lundy highlights a pattern in Idemitsu’s buyback strategies over the last few years, with the latest one being unveiled in February.

Lundy emphasizes the importance of understanding the shareholder structure of Idemitsu, noting the existing pressure and potential future developments in May. The report also alludes to a diminishing buyback pressure for one of Idemitsu’s major peers, adding further complexity to the timing and implications of Idemitsu’s buyback program. Investors are advised to closely monitor the tilts and timing of Idemitsu’s buyback execution to navigate potential market movements effectively based on Lundy’s research insights on Smartkarma.
