We reiterate our Buy rating on shift to Uvance business model

We nudge up our forecasts and raise our target price for Fujitsu by 4% to reflect steady

progress with the company’s shift toward its Uvance business model and reiterate our Buy

rating on the stock. First, demand for services in Japan remains solid, and we expect

modernization and the Uvance model to steadily drive earnings. Second, the company

provides vertically integrated technology solutions ranging from AI infrastructure

(sovereign clouds, CPUs, quantum computing, and high-performance computing (HPC)),

to AI platforms (multi-AI combining commodity AI and the company's proprietary AI), and

industry-specific AI agents, and we expect customers' adoption of AI to act as a tailwind.

Third, we expect only a limited impact from memory supply shortages and sharp price

rises and see no need to be overly concerned about these factors.

Steady growth in service orders in Q1, margins improved in line with expectations

Adjusted operating profits rose ¥19.7bn y-y in Q1 as one-time gains offset the

disappearance of PC and server demand, while sales in the service solutions segment

rose and margins improved. Service orders in Japan were solid, rising 10% (up 8%

excluding the impact of major business deals). The gross margin in the service solutions

segment improved by 1.5ppt, short of full-year guidance for a rise of at least 2ppt, but the

gross margin in its system integration operations, which excludes changes in the

packaged product mix, looks to have improved by over 2ppt, in line with expectations.
