Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>I was bearish <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hino-motors-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2144:1" rel="noopener">Hino Motors Ltd (7205 JP)</a> / <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/archion-corporation" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:47577:1" rel="noopener">Archion (543A JP)</a> against <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/isuzu-motors-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14726:1" rel="noopener">Isuzu Motors (7202 JP)</a> last year at this time. That trade did well. I am bullish now. </li>
<li>Isuzu released Q1 results a bit more than a week ago. They were salutary. Archion released Q1 yesterday. Also salutary. Historical comparisons are a bit tough, but outlook is good.</li>
<li>When looking at Q1 seasonality vs Hino history, and Q1 revenue results vs last year, either Q1 was a very special outlier or the guidance is quite conservative.</li>

I was bearish Hino Motors Ltd (7205 JP) / Archion (543A JP) against Isuzu Motors (7202 JP) last year at this time. That trade did well. I am bullish now. 
Isuzu released Q1 results a bit more than a week ago. They were salutary. Archion released Q1 yesterday. Also salutary. Historical comparisons are a bit tough, but outlook is good.
When looking at Q1 seasonality vs Hino history, and Q1 revenue results vs last year, either Q1 was a very special outlier or the guidance is quite conservative.


ARCHION (543A) - Q1 Results Positive, Seasonality VERY Positive
