Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Earnings re-based higher: FY2025–27 EPS upgraded ~20%, driven by copper and gold prices; resource earnings dominate while smelting volatility remains largely accounting-driven.</li>
<li>Valuation near fair value: At ~¥6,000, SMM trades around mid-cycle value; upside depends on sustained copper/gold strength rather than multiple expansion.</li>
<li>Downside cushioned: Strong balance sheet and ~2× FCF dividend cover limit downside, with pullbacks offering better entry than chasing spot-driven rallies.</li>
