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.

Following the resignation of director Mariko Watahiki yesterday, the results for the shareholder votes are in for Toshiba. 
Watahiki unsurprisingly had a low approval ratio of 65.87% but activist-linked directors also saw less than stellar approval ratios as did new CEO Taro Shimada. 
Toshiba’s path forward looks increasingly murky and lofty valuations bid up on privatisation hopium look increasingly tenuous.
