Kyocera Corp on Smartkarma

Analysts on Smartkarma are examining Kyocera Corp‘s latest moves closely, particularly its $10bn stake in KDDI. Travis Lundy, a top independent analyst on the platform, recently published a bullish research report titled “Kyocera (6971) And Their $10bn KDDI Stake – Did They Get CorpGov Religion?” Lundy highlights Kyocera’s announcement of a downward revision and a plan to reconsider its KDDI shares after facing challenges at the June AGM. Despite the initial setback causing a positive market reaction, Lundy urges investors to pay attention to the details and intentions behind Kyocera’s revised strategy.

In the report, Lundy discusses Kyocera Corp‘s Q2 results and a downward adjustment in the full-year forecast. The CEO’s statement regarding the reconsideration of the KDDI shares, along with the company’s previous plan to leverage ¥500bn against the stake for shareholder returns, adds complexity to the investment thesis. While speculating on Kyocera potentially embracing Corporate Governance principles, Lundy advises a cautious approach, emphasizing the importance of scrutinizing the company’s ambitious plans amidst evolving market dynamics.
