Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>KDDI reported earnings today, offering a near meaningless March 2022 results presentation slide deck, and an only slightly more meaningful new Mid-Term Plan.</li>
<li>The only clarity provided is on the bit which makes up about a third of future OP as the two-thirds (mobile telephony ARPU-related revenues) will see considerable pain this year. </li>
<li>The buyback is nice, but KDDI is no longer cheap, and may have relative upside only against Softbank Corp. </li>

<li>Guidance for modest growth in FY22 operating income is broadly in line with expectations and reassuring after a range of potential outcomes in reports from NTT and Softbank  </li>

<li>On balance, the message is positive as a stable business and rising shareholder returns makes KDDI an attractive option in a frothy market</li>
