Nidec (6594) | FY3/24 Guidance Risk

By Mark Chadwick

  • We do not expect any major surprises when Nidec reports FY3/23 earnings on 24 April
  • However, we believe that there is a significant risk that the company will guide below analyst consensus for FY3/24
  • We are bearish going into results. After that, there could be an opportunity to turn bullish again on FY3/25 PE of 14x

IMotion Automotive Technology Pre-IPO – The Negatives – But Profitability Still a Black Box

By Ethan Aw

  • IMotion Automotive Technology (1812706D CH) is looking to raise about US$300m in its upcoming HK IPO. 
  • The company possesses advanced full-stack R&D capabilities including self-developed algorithms and hardware-software co-design capabilities. It provides two AD domain controller product lines, and the self-designed iDC series. 
  • In this note, we talk about the not-so-positive aspects of the deal.

By Water Tower Research

  • As sensitive as this may be, we feel an obligation to correct misinformation on social media and put some context on a related news report about an internal MillerKnoll video town hall that leaked.
  • MLKN was down ~2.5% on Tuesday, more than its peers and competitors. Misinformation may have contributed to the stock action.
  • First, the misinformation: A tweet Tuesday shows CEO Andrea “Andi” Owen rallying employees.
