EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- Komatsu reported 4QFY22 results on the 28th of April and recorded revenue of ¥787bn (6.2% above consensus) and OP of ¥94.5bn (13.1% above consensus).
- They also guided for revenue to increase 7.1% YoY vs. HCM which guided for a 6.3% fall driving a significant and premature share price decline.
- The market has corrected some of that fall as it appears to increasingly agree with our call that HCM’s guidance was nonsense conservatism.
