Yaskawa Electric (6506) Earnings: 1Q Operating Income Misses Estimates, 2025 Forecast Remains Optimistic

Yaskawa Electric on Smartkarma

On Smartkarma, an independent investment research network, analyst Scott Foster provides insightful coverage of Yaskawa Electric in a research report titled “Yaskawa (6506 JP): Start of a New Factory Automation Growth Cycle.” Foster’s analysis leans bullish, recommending a long-term buy on the company. Despite a recent 10% drop in share price due to bottoming out orders, Yaskawa’s prospects are looking up as the robotics sector improves, inventory is cleared, and the demand for automation rises. With AI contributing to product upgrades and favorable market conditions including inventory clearance and a rebound in the semiconductor industry, Yaskawa’s margins are expected to rise. Although the current valuation at 30x EPS guidance for FY Feb-25 may seem stretched, the weakness in the share price presents a potential long-term buying opportunity.
