Eizo has built up a distinctive position in the industry through its strong quality control

Implied upside +14.7%capabilities and its strengths in high-mix, low-volume manufacturing. Our focus is on the

new management team's strategies for operations and finances aimed at boosting returns

on capital. We obtain our target price of ¥2,750 by multiplying our 27/3 adjusted EPS

forecast of ¥112 by a P/E of 24–25x. We previously valued the stock in line with the

Relative performance chartRussell/Nomura Large Cap (ex financials) average but now assign a premium of just over

15% as we not only forecast consistent growth in niche areas, but also take a positive

view of the company's solid balance sheet and the way that the new management team

has been stepping up initiatives aimed at improving returns on capital. Our target price

equates to a P/B of roughly 0.6x our end-27/3 BPS forecast, and we retain our Neutral

rating as we think any further improvement in valuations will require greater clarity about

growth investments that make use of the company's asset holdings.

We expect earnings to recover in 27/3 on recovery at healthcare and V&S segments
