Reiterate Buy on BBU-led growth and visible restructuring Equity

We reiterate Buy, with key pillars being BBU-driven growth and the crystallisation of

restructuring benefits. The increase in the data centre BBU FY3/29 revenue target from Mikio Hirakawa >> Research Analyst

to support valuation upside.
