2024 High Conviction: Asahi Intecc (7747 JP)- Procedure Volume Recovery to Accelerate Growth
- Asahi Intecc (7747 JP) is poised for multi-year growth through strong market demand for its technically superior guidewires, market leadership positioning, new product launches, and direct marketing initiatives.
- In FY24, Asahi Intecc aims to achieve revenue of ¥100B (+11% YoY), a significant milestone. The company targets revenue of ¥110B and an operating profit margin of 23–25% in FY26.
- Asahi Intecc is expected to be a continued beneficiary of global procedure volume recovery. The company is likely to achieve its medium-term business plan ahead of schedule.
Companies Are Finally at the Starting Line of Taking the First Steps to Improve ROE
- Since the list of companies disclosing information based on TSE’s request only shows “whether they disclosed,” more companies will disclose the information in their corporate governance reports by December anyway.
- Good practices published by TSE will provide hints for companies to improve their future disclosures. Investors will also be more likely to demand improvements from companies based on good practices.
- The next step after disclosing the cost of capital is whether companies can disclose measures to fill gap between cost of capital and actual return and to raise return further.
