Nidec Corp on Smartkarma

Analyzing the analyst coverage on Nidec Corp on Smartkarma reveals insights from Mark Chadwick. In a report titled “Nidec (6594) | Liquid Cooling Overheats Stock,” Chadwick expresses concerns about the market impact and sales volume despite the stock’s 7% rise following Nidec’s plan to increase CDU production in Thailand significantly. The move, aiming to enhance CDU production by 10x by June 2024, caused a notable market impact of 250 billion yen, which Chadwick believes is overly optimistic based on the expected sales volume.

In another report, “Nidec (6594) | Forget the EV Slump,” Chadwick highlights Nidec’s challenges in the global EV market but sees potential catalysts and strong positioning that make it an attractive investment. With Nidec trading at 18x EBIT, Chadwick views the company as a compelling play on the electrification, automation, and energy efficiency sectors. Despite a mixed quarter where net sales increased, operating profit rose, but full-year guidance for operating profit was revised down by 20%, Chadwick remains bullish on Nidec’s long-term structural electrification thesis.
