While companies with good financial results, including the July-9 fiscal year, stood out, such as an improvement in business performance due to the depreciation of the yen, what became one of the few negative factors was the modulation of companies with a high degree of dependence on China. The full-year outlook was revised downward due to the effects of the cooling of the Chinese economy $Shiseido (4911.JP)$Ya $OMRON (6645.JP)$The stock prices of such companies fell drastically after financial results were announced.
Views have also been heard that it will take time for the Chinese business to recover, and for the time being, it seems necessary to be wary of fluctuations in stock prices for “China-related stocks.”
▲ Interim financial results for “China-related stocks” (Shiseido's financial results for the 3rd quarter) and stock price movements the day after the announcement
▲ Interim financial results for “China-related stocks” (Shiseido's financial results for the 3rd quarter) and stock price movements the day after the announcement
A drastic downward correction will cause stock prices to plummet
Omron, which lowered its value by about 16% the day after the announcement of financial results, drastically revised its full-year operating profit forecast downward from 102 billion yen to 45 billion yen resonated. In the second quarter, sales of the control equipment business in China decreased 17.9% compared to the first quarter due to stagnant market conditions, etc. This trend is expected to continue after the 3rd quarter, and downward revisions were made.
Sales for the third quarter (fiscal year ending July-9) of Shiseido were forced to revise its full-year forecast downward due to the fact that the travel retail business, which handles duty-free shops etc. in Hainan Island in China, fell 25% from the same period last year, and the Chinese business fell 9% from the same period last year. Actual operating income for the full year was revised from 60 billion yen to 35 billion yen, leading to a sharp drop in stock prices. The company explains the Chinese business that “compared to the first half, which was strong, this third quarter was affected by deterioration in business confidence and refraining from purchasing Japanese products after the release of ALPS treated water (from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant) into the ocean.”
$Panasonic Holdings (6752.JP)$The degree of dependence on China for sales is not that high, but the reason behind revising full-year sales by 100 billion yen and operating profit downward by 30 billion yen is poor sales in China. The company's sales declined 3% from the same period last year in the second quarter (July-September), but sales in China fell 25% and fell by 70 billion yen or more in terms of value. The company cites a decline in actual demand for home appliances in China and Asia, and the slump in the FA solution business for industrial devices etc. in China and the information and communication infrastructure market as reasons for the decline in sales.
$Nidec (6594.JP)$The performance of is strong, and there are no revisions to the full-year outlook, but according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun dated 10/24, Chairman and CEO Nagamori Shigenobu withdrew the profit plan for the EV parts business for the current fiscal year and stated that “there will be an operating deficit of 15 billion yen,” which led to disappointing sales. Chairman Nagamori stated that the Chinese market was “in price competition,” and the sales plan for the EV parts business was revised downward.
There are also cases where stock prices rise due to the reaction of drastic downward revisions in the previous quarter
Although performance is poor due to the influence of the Chinese economy, there are also companies that raised their stock prices after financial results were announced.
$Fanuc (6954.JP)$Despite the fact that sales in China fell by about 27% in the second quarter (July-9 fiscal year), stock prices rose. The background is that the full-year forecast, which was drastically revised downward when financial results for the first quarter were announced, was revised upward in line with the announcement of financial results for the second quarter due to yen depreciation effects, etc.
$Murata Manufacturing (6981.JP)$Also, the profit forecast for the full year was revised upward due to the change in the estimated exchange rate from 1 dollar = 127 yen to 145 yen, which led to a drastic rise in stock prices.
