Kokusai Electric (6525 JP): Sell-Off Presents Buying Opportunity

By Scott Foster

  • Kokusai has dropped 44% from its July peak, offering a long-term opportunity at reasonably attractive valuations. Management’s guidance looks conservative.
  • KKR has reduced its stake from 43.4% to 23.2%, increasing the float while indicating that it still sees a long-term opportunity. Applied Materials has bought 14.7% of the company.
  • The completion of a new factory in Japan should double production capacity to meet demand from makers of AI processors, high-bandwidth memory, 3D NAND and power devices.
