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.

Tokyo Electron (8035) | WFE Scenarios Suggest Stock May Have Hit Bottom

<ul>
<li>Share price down 50% from its peak, discounting a downturn of historical magnitude.</li>
<li>But history also suggests that the downturn might last two years, in which case it would be too early to buy. </li>
<li>Impact of COVID lockdown fading. No impact from U.S. sanctions yet. Weaker guidance ahead, in our estimation. </li>
