No surprises in 1Q results, but we see a strong chance of a shortterm share correction over the risk of a rail income shortfall and

possible lowering of the IFIS consensus.

Key Takeaways

F3/27 1Q OP came in at ¥27.8bn, broadly level with our ¥28bn forecast.

While concerns remain of a rail income shortfall, we think strong non-rail

progress and potential to curb labor costs makes a large FY OP miss avoidable.

F3/27 OP forecasts: Guidance calls for ¥81.4bn, vs. our ¥80.7bn forecast and the

¥81.8bn IFIS consensus. Risk of an IFIS downward revision is a concern.

As expected, no particular corporate actions were announced.
