6-month dailyInvestment Thesis
95% domestic share in nuclear radiation monitoring + top-5 global IGBT/SiC. Oct 2025 raised FY26 guidance (sales ¥1,185B, OP ¥128.5B, NI ¥89B) + interim dividend ¥91 (+21% YoY). Dec 2025 Bosch SiC co-development agreement for package-compatible EV inverter modules. Capex ¥200B over FY24-26 driving 50x SiC capacity increase vs 2022 baseline.
Risk
J-Quants PE 27.3x vs StockAnalysis 20.6x — methodology gap (J-Q annualizes cumulative EPS). ROE on latest J-Q filing dipped to 8.2% from 11.8% prior. SiC competition (Rohm, Infineon, STMicro) intensifying. Nuclear I&C is a fraction of Energy segment — not standalone driver.
Monitoring Trigger
FY25 full-year results May 12, 2026. If SiC capacity ramp below 50x target OR Bosch JV slips past 2027, trim. If data-center power electronics orders break out (¥50B+ quarterly run-rate), upgrade to Core weight.
