Japan/Asia Long-Short

Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Sony and Honda announced today they would form a strategic alliance in the mobility field. </li>
<li>Honda will be responsible for manufacturing and after sales while Sony will handle imaging, sensing, telecommunication, network and entertainment technologies. </li>
<li>This helps Sony maintain its asset light model and is also positive for Honda but we do feel that it makes Honda look a little lost in the changing world.</li>

<li>When Honda reported its 2QFY22 results it revised OP guidance down and we said that unnecessary. </li>
<li>Indeed, with 3Q now out they revised guidance UP, above where it was at 3Q, making the revision pattern look like ¥660bn &gt; ¥ 780bn &gt; ¥660bn &gt; ¥800bn. </li>
<li>That remains conservative and the company should beat though we still see limited upside until next year’s prospects start to be priced in.</li>
