Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Equity Bottom-Up

<p>Sony has made plans to change the entry level salaries for new recruits who possess high tech skills. The salary hike implies a gradual change in policy for the company from Japan’s corporate culture tradition which follows a seniority wage system. The salary hike is particularly for those with tech expertise in areas such as AI. Such recruits will see their salary increase by approx. 20% from current levels. In addition to slowly transitioning from a seniority wage system, the hike will also help Sony recruit skilled labour which may otherwise go overseas to international competitors who provide higher entry level salaries.</p>
