If capacity expansion along with price hikes is announced, how

undervalued will the shares look?

CITI’S TAKE Buy

We expect Nittobo to announce additional T-glass capacity expansion Price (25 Jun 26 15:30) ¥20,440.0

soon and perhaps pursue additional price hikes. Our forecasts assume Target price ¥33,000.0

one round of T-glass price hikes (we assume c30% price hikes began

Expected share price return 61.4% penetrating from April 2026, with the price up 25% YoY for FY3/27 and up

5% for FY3/28). Under these assumptions we forecast FY3/28 OP of Expected dividend yield 0.9%

¥41bn/EPS of ¥828 and FY3/29 OP of ¥53.7bn/EPS of ¥1,090. If T-glass Expected total return 62.3%

capacity expansion along with price hikes were announced (assuming Market Cap ¥744,121M

c30% as with the initial hike), we would estimate FY3/28 OP of c¥45bn US$4,605M

and EPS of c¥910, with FY3/29 OP of c¥60bn and EPS of c¥1,230. At

current share price levels (around ¥19,000 at the time of writing) this

corresponds to an FY3/28E PER of c20x and FY3/29E PER of c15x.

+81-3-6776-4643Background — The company announced T-glass capacity expansion (cloth) with a

yuta.nishiyama@citi.com¥15bn investment at end-August 2025. Subsequently, to offset higher costs

including this investment, we understand the company engaged in initial price hike

negotiations through CY25 H2, with a c30% price hike beginning to penetrate from

April 2026. Similar to 2025, we think T-glass capacity expansion may be announced

around July-September 2026 (we believe this based on company comments at its

earnings briefing).
