Assuming H2 is in line with the H1 company plan, OP in FY3/27 would be ¥916bn,

below the consensus of ¥960bn, and the market thus appears to be factoring in margin

improvement in H2 from share gains and price increases. The steady progress in this

acceleration of growth will likely be a significant source of reassurance. Applying an

unchanged EV/EBITDA 28X to our FY3/28 earnings forecast, we are raising our price

target from ¥90,900 to ¥93,600. EV/EBITDA of 28X corresponds to sales growth of

+31.0% yoy in the same period.
