Positive Q1 beat: Lawson reported +64% yoy growth in profit to Y26B. That significantly beat consensus estimates, but comps include an accounting shift to IFRS. Even so, Q1 amounts to 41% progress towards FY guidance of Y64B. We remain bullish on recovery in China business, profitability improvements and higher shareholder returns.
