6-month dailyInvestment Thesis
Most focused power semiconductor play among large-cap Japanese industrials. Investing JPY 200B to establish SiC production and expand IGBT capacity through FY2026. Operating profit guided to JPY 128.5B. Well-positioned for EV adoption and renewable energy power conversion. Lead times 20-45 weeks indicate structural tightness.
Risk
Semiconductor segment ~40% of profits (energy ~60%). SiC ramp execution risk. EV demand slowdown in China could reduce near-term orders.
Monitoring Trigger
Watch SiC production line commissioning and FY2026 earnings. If EV demand in China weakens further, reassess conviction.
