Obayashi Corporation - Firm, expected to be upgraded in domestic securities.

Steady. At SMBC Nikko Securities, the investment rating has been upgraded from '2' to '1', and the target stock price seems to have been raised from 2100 yen to 2400 yen. It appears that they are expecting a medium-term recovery in the construction profit margin, aiming to reduce the policy shareholding and achieve an optimal capital structure in order to strengthen shareholder returns. Additionally, the company's provision for construction losses balance has halved from its peak. It is assumed that after the fiscal year ending March 2027, the impact of unprofitable projects will be substantially eliminated, and the construction profit margin is expected to reach double digits for the first time since the fiscal year ending March 2021.
