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

<li>Suzuki reported its 3QFY22 results on Tuesday with revenue of INR236bn (+15.0% QoQ, -0.2% YoY) and OP of INR12.5bn implying an OPM of 5.3% compared to 0.5% in 2QFY22. </li>
<li>The reported revenue was 1.1% lower than the consensus estimates, while OP was 165.9% higher (INR7.8bn). </li>
<li>That reads positive overall but we are concerned that margins are still not on track to achieve consensus estimates for next FY.</li>
