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>Toshiba’s 2Q results were not pretty with OP of just ¥7.5bn despite strong revenues of ¥855bn, weak orders and a downward revision to guidance as we predicted. </li>
<li>While we expected weakness, every downside risk we flagged came through and in greater force than we had predicted. </li>
<li>It is almost as if some divine force completely unrelated to management is hinting that you should go for the JIP bid if and when it comes through.</li>
</ul>


Toshiba’s 2Q results were not pretty with OP of just ¥7.5bn despite strong revenues of ¥855bn, weak orders and a downward revision to guidance as we predicted. 
While we expected weakness, every downside risk we flagged came through and in greater force than we had predicted. 
It is almost as if some divine force completely unrelated to management is hinting that you should go for the JIP bid if and when it comes through.


<ul>
<li>The Nikkei reported on Monday that JIP’s bid values Toshiba at roughly ¥2.2trn. </li>
<li>The stock has dropped to a level just below this valuation suggesting some anticipation of a Bain/JIC bid above that valuation. </li>
<li>While that is plausible, the cautiousness of JIP’s bid highlights the fundamental downside risk here in our view.</li>

<li>Media reported last night that JIP would bid ¥2.2trln for Toshiba. That's about ¥5,000-5,100/share. </li>
<li>This morning, there is a bit more clarification. Funnily, that means there is less info here than people think.</li>
<li>But it is not a great look for either JIP or Toshiba at this point.</li>

Toshiba – Worse Than Even We Thought

Toshiba 2Q results were not pretty with significant profitability issues and a significant downgrade to the full year outlook.

JIP's bid for Toshiba was disappointing to markets but a realistic assessment of Toshiba's potential given current market conditions in our view.
