In light of 27/3 Q1 (Apr–Jun) results released after the close on 27 July, we trim our forecasts for

Implied upside -9.8%Yokogawa Bridge Holdings' bridge segment and retain our Neutral rating. We retain our target price

calculation methodology, but lower our target price to ¥2,710, which we obtain by multiplying our

27/3 EPS forecast of ¥225.7 by a P/E of 12x to reflect downward revisions to our earnings forecasts

and the decline in the benchmark Russell/Nomura Large Cap (ex financials). We think any

Relative performance chartreassessment of the stock will hinge on a recovery in orders at the bridge segment and consistently

strong orders at the engineered structure system segment. Along with results, the company

announced a share buyback of up to ¥2.0bn or 1mn shares, in line with its medium-term business

plan policy of share buybacks totaling at least ¥7.0bn over 26/3–28/3. We had already factored this

into our forecasts.

We lower operating profit forecasts for 27/3 onwards on weak orders at the bridge segment

In Q1, operating profits came in at ¥1.1bn (up 2% y-y; our forecast: ¥1.85bn) and orders came in at

¥34.3bn (down 10%; our forecast ¥45.8bn). At the bridge segment, operating profits and orders

were short of our forecasts.
