Nippon Yusen Kk on Smartkarma
Analyst coverage of Nippon Yusen Kk on Smartkarma shows positive sentiment from independent analysts like Travis Lundy. In a report titled “Nippon Yusen (9101) – Guidance Revision Up Still Conservative, Means More Capital Return Eventually,” Lundy highlights the company’s upward revision of H1 and full-year guidance, with a significant increase in revenues and operating profits, especially in containers. The report points out a hint of conservatism in the H2 projections but notes that Nippon Yusen is slightly undervalued compared to its peers and is actively engaging in buybacks, indicating potential for more capital return in the future.
In another research piece by Travis Lundy, titled “Nippon Yusen (9101) – Another Big Buyback Announced, But Details Matter,” the analyst discusses Nippon Yusen’s recent announcement of earnings, guidance, dividend hike, and a new buyback plan. While the stock reacted positively to the news, Lundy emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing the specifics of the buyback program. Nippon Yusen had previously executed significant buybacks, and the latest announcement of another ¥100bn buyback through April 2025 led to a 5% stock price increase. The report indicates that the impact of this buyback may be lower compared to previous ones and raises considerations about cross-holder overhang for the company.
