Investment Thesis

FY2026: Net sales ¥1,182B (+20.7%), OP ¥188.7B (+39.2%), NP ¥157.2B (+72.5%). FY2027 guidance: revenue ¥1,243B (+5.1%), OP ¥211B (+11.8%), NP ¥156B (flat/-0.7%) — conservative guidance vs record FY2026 caused EPS miss (¥27.14 vs ¥30.45 estimate, -10.28%) and stock dropped -38.9% from ATH ¥7,933 to ¥4,850. 6-for-1 stock split announced; year-end dividend raised to ¥130/share. Core demand intact: optical fiber supply tight until 2028 (6-month lead times), AI datacenter buildout structural. US$20B government contract active; US subsidiary and new US plant launched. ¥300B capacity tripling in progress.

Risk

1) Peak earnings risk: FY2027 NP guidance flat at ¥156B despite record FY2026 — market re-rated from PE 11x to 14x. 2) Chinese fiber makers (Hengtong, Yangtze Optical) competing aggressively on price in emerging markets. 3) ¥300B capacity investment: if AI capex cycle slows >20% before 2028, demand may not absorb new supply. 4) Momentum broken: -38.9% from ATH reflects sentiment reversal.

Monitoring Trigger

If FY2027 Q1 results (Jul/Aug 2026) show revenue growth <10% YoY, TRIM to 5%. If AI hyperscaler capex guidance (AWS/MSFT/GOOG) cut >20%, EXIT. If optical cable order backlog extends beyond 2 years, ADD back to 12%. Watch for 6-for-1 split effective date (adjust PE/EPS accordingly).
