Lasertec Corp on Smartkarma

Analysts on Smartkarma are keeping a close eye on Lasertec Corp, with Nicolas Baratte providing valuable insight. In a recent report titled “Lasertec: FY25 Guidance Isn’t Revised up Despite a Blockbuster 2Q25. The Stock Is Attractive,” Baratte highlights the company’s remarkable revenue and net income growth in the second quarter of 2025. Despite the impressive performance, Lasertec’s high volatility persists, and the FY25 guidance remains unchanged. The stock is trading at attractive valuations according to Baratte, sitting at 18x and positioned at the lower end of its trading range. The report emphasizes that the blowout second quarter does not necessarily indicate higher growth, and the stock remains intriguing amid the market dynamics.

Michael Allen also chimes in with his analysis as part of the Smartkarma platform, covering Lasertec as part of a broader scope in his report “Unloved Japan Round-Up: Some Massive Results Surprises.” Allen notes that Lasertec, along with other companies like Lixil and TEPCO, have outperformed consensus estimates with strong operating profits and attractive stock valuations relative to book value and Topix multiples. Lasertec specifically saw a significant increase in EBIT by 122% to ¥47.7bn, surpassing consensus estimates. The stock is currently trading at the lowest multiples relative to Topix in seven years, indicating an undervaluation according to Allen’s analysis.
