Chiba Bank on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage on Chiba Bank by Daniel Tabbush on Smartkarma reveals a bearish sentiment as highlighted in the report titled “Chiba Bank – Short Term Borrowing Surges, Just at the Wrong Time.” Tabbush points out that Chiba Bank has significantly increased its short term borrowings as Japanese Yen rates are on the rise, without securing long term borrowings. In the past four quarters, short term borrowing surged by 2.3 times, while long term borrowings decreased, resulting in missed opportunities to lock in lower rates. This strategy has led to Chiba Bank not fully benefiting from Bank of Japan policy changes, with a decline in the Net Interest Margin (NIM).

Eisai Co Ltd on Smartkarma

Analysts on Smartkarma, such as Tina Banerjee, have been closely monitoring Eisai Co Ltd (4523 JP) and its Alzheimer’s disease drug, Leqembi. In a recent report titled “New Competition Is Coming for Alzheimer’s Disease Drug; No Immediate Threat,” it was highlighted that despite the FDA approval of Eli Lilly’s Kisunla, Eisai is not expected to face immediate competition. The company is projected to comfortably meet its Leqembi FY25 revenue target of Β₯56.5B, with a significant portion coming from the U.S. market.

Furthermore, in another report titled “Leqembi Is Gathering Momentum; Imminent Competition May Spoil the Party,” the analysts pointed out Eisai’s ambitious revenue projections for Leqembi, aiming to reach Β₯1.6T by FY33. However, challenges lie ahead as a competitor drug is anticipated to receive FDA approval in 3Q24, potentially affecting Leqembi’s growth trajectory. The dynamic landscape of the Alzheimer’s treatment market requires careful observation of upcoming developments.
