15% and explicit management commitment. Key focus points are: (1) Domestic IT Stock Data

14.5%), while the base business is assumed flat; the BluStellar margin target appears Price 4,130 JPY

ambitious but achievable given historical margin expansion and productivity gains. (2) Price Objective 7,100 JPY

ANS: targets appear conservative; normalization of marine systems and expansion in Date Established 4-Mar-2026

aerospace and defense suggest upside to revenue. (3) CSG: planned subsidiary Investment Opinion C-1-7

conversion in 2026 is not included in the MTP (revenue ¥180bn, adjusted OP ¥30bn), 52-Week Range 3,594-6,194 JPY

implying additional upside.
