Investment Thesis
FY2026 results confirmed structural improvement: adj. OP +27.1% to ¥390.5B, adj. margin 11.2% (first time >10% in history), core FCF +24.1% to ¥290B. Sovereign AI infrastructure ramp is underway — NVIDIA Blackwell servers at Kasashima (March 2026), FugakuNEXT prime contractor (RIKEN), MONAKA 1.4nm chip via Rapidus (NEDO funds ~2/3 of ¥58B). Net cash ¥317B + ¥150B buyback (5.76% shares). Mid-term management plan due May 28 may catalyze re-rating toward >20% ROE target.
Risk
1) Revenue stagnation: -1.3% FY2026, +0.2% guided FY2027 — AI uplift not yet visible in topline. 2) PE re-rated from 12.9x to ~18x — cheap entry gone; now quality/momentum story. 3) NI ¥449B includes ~¥146B divestiture gains (not recurring); actual recurring NI ~¥303B, FY2027 guided ¥310B. 4) UK Post Office Horizon liability: £0 contributed toward ~£2B redress exposure — no financial provision.
Monitoring Trigger
May 28 mid-term plan: if >20% ROE target + AI revenue breakout guidance confirmed, ADD to 12%. If FY2027 revenue guidance raised above ¥3,600B (>3% growth), ADD to 12%. If ROE stays <15% for two consecutive quarters, TRIM to 8%. If Horizon liability provision announced, assess P&L impact before action.
