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

On Wednesday, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/18703" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:18703:1">Denso Corp (6902 JP)</a> reported 2QFY03/19 results posting revenue growth of 11.1% YoY falling below consensus estimates by 1.4% and our estimates by nearly 4%. Further, on profitability, Denso failed to meet market expectations again posting OP down by 25.5% YoY falling below market expectations by a significant 29.3%.
The company mentioned that the decline in OP was mainly due to transient profit in the last fiscal year and variance of periods in collecting expenses alongside its increase in investment for future growth towards becoming a leading mobility supplier. We consider the latter to be consistent with the company’s recent moves, having witnessed the company’s business restructuring and its recent announcement on changes to the business model, aiming to focus on software-based solutions in addition to its hardware expertise.  Despite experiencing a decline in OP this quarter, Denso optimistically revises its OP guidance upwards by 0.8%. Following the release, Denso closed 2.4% down on Thursday from Wednesday’s close.

<li>In the interests of clarity (/sanity?), financials have been omitted. Twelve of the Top 20-ranked companies in 1990 were financials.

Our chart would have otherwise have included the now-merged IBJ, Fuji Bank, Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Sakura Bank, Sumitomo Bank, Tokai Bank, Sanwa Bank and Mitsubishi Trust Bank.  Excluded from the present-day Top 20 are <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/218" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:218:1">Mitsubishi UFJ (8306 JP)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/217" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:217:1">Sumitomo Mitsui Financial (8316 JP)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/838" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:838:1">Japan Post Bank (7182 JP)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/359" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:359:1">Japan Post Holdings (6178 JP)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/219" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:219:1">Mizuho Financial (8411 JP)</a> from the present day.</li>
<li>Only companies that were in the Top 20 in 1990 or 2018, as well as those companies that have been in the Top 10 for at least three of the last 28 years, have been included. </li>
<li>Two companies from 1990's Top 20 - Seibu Railway and Japan Airlines - have since been delisted. Although they have relisted as <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/458" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:458:1">Seibu Holdings (9024 JP)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/1184" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1184:1">Japan Airlines (9201 JP)</a>, they are no longer highly-ranked.</li>

</ul>THE 2050 RANKING?- Which of the current market leaders will still be in the Top 20 in 2050 in their current guise? For those still around to read this in 32 year's time, we would wager on just three - <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/3077" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:3077:1">Keyence (6861 JP)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/73" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:73:1">Toyota Motor (7203 JP)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/563" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:563:1">Sony (6758 JP)</a>.

The Nikkei Shimbun predicted last Friday that Mazda will likely lower FY3/19 operating profit outlook by 29% to Y75bn, from current forecasts of Y105bn (consensus is at Y96.5bn).  This is largely due to the one-off negative impact of the flood around Mazda's factories in southern Japan during July (-Y20bn hit to earnings, according to the Nikkei) and stronger than expected currency headwinds (-Y10bn), mainly from the weak Australian dollar. Both of these points are largely factored into the share price. However, the Nikkei's report that earnings would only be revised down to Y75bn appears surprisingly optimistic. Mazda Could Guide Much Lower than Nikkei Forecasts: If the numbers forecast by the Nikkei are indeed what Mazda plans for, it could be met with skepticism, as the current auto demand environment is weakening quickly and currency headwinds are 60% stronger than Mazda had originally forecast for the 2H of this fiscal year. We expect only Y63bn in full-year OP at Mazda, and this is with generous assumptions for a sharp rebound in output during Q3 of FY3/19 (see details below and table-1). This would be 20% lower than the Nikkei's prediction of Y75bn and 35% lower than consensus estimates of Y96.5bn. Mazda is scheduled to announce Q2 results on October 31st after market close. Europe is a High-Risk Factor and Mazda's Exposure is Large: At 17% of global sales volume in FY3/18, Mazda has the highest exposure to Europe among Japanese automakers. While Q2 sales volumes for Mazda in the region during Q2 were flat YoY, incentives are rising, possibly more than Mazda expected. This is due to the new-model effect from Mazda's popular CX-5 SUV having run its course and steeper competition from European automakers, who are discounting cars due to bloated inventories from delays in meeting stricter European emission standards (WLTP).  Daimler and BMW have already made profit warnings because of this. Capex Set to Double over the Next 2 Years: Mazda's capex plans this year are set to grow by 67% to Y145bn ($1.3bn) in FY3/19 and should peak out at around Y200bn in FY3/21, as it expands capacity at the new Alabama plant being jointly-developed with Toyota Motor. This steep rise in capex comes at a time when global auto demand is dropping after 8 years of of consecutive growth through 2017 and should lead to negative free cash flow (FCF) over the next two years due to Mazda's high investment plans. Mind the Dividend--Payout Ratio Surpassing 50% this Fiscal Year: On our assumptions of Y63bn in FY3/19 OP, Mazda's dividend per share of Y35 becomes an increasing burden to the company (see Chart-1) as it amounts to 53% of our FY3/19 net profit estimate of Y39bn (consensus is at Y79bn and the Nikkei said Mazda would guide down from Y80bn to Y50bn). After five years of positive FCF, Mazda should see negative FCF of -Y19bn in FY3/19 and this should widen to -Y35bn in FY3/20, making its annual Y21bn in dividend payouts a bigger drain on net cash. Mazda's PBR is Low but so is Growth for a While: Mazda does not appear that cheap at these levels mainly because of tough growth prospects over the next 3 years. The PER of 17x our FY3/20 estimates is higher than the average 10x for Japanese rivals. Same goes for its EV/EBITDA multiple of 4.2x versus rivals at 3.8x. And while the PBR of 0.60x is approaching the all-time low of 0.52x recorded in FY3/13, Honda is at a PBR of 0.58x FY3/20 consensus estimates, yet has stronger footing in the market.  Would Toyota raise its stake in Mazda if the PBR were to become cheaper? We think there's no rush, and explain the details why via a comparison of Toyota's take-out of former minicar affiliate, Daihatsu Motor, below.
