Yaskawa (6506 JP): Start of a New Factory Automation Growth Cycle

- Yaskawa’s margins should continue to rise with renewed growth in Robotics, efficiency gains and an upgraded product line.
- Valuation stretched at 30x EPS guidance for FY Feb-25, but current weakness looks like a long term buying opportunity.
