6702: Share Cancellation And Higher Dividend Policy Will Support Future Returns

Analysts have made only a marginal adjustment to their Fujitsu fair value and price target, keeping it broadly in line with the prior view around ¥4,689. Updated assumptions for discount rate, revenue growth, profit margin and future P/E remain very close to earlier estimates.

6701: Share Repurchases And Physical AI Collaboration Will Support A Higher Share Price

Analysts have kept NEC's fair value price target steady at ¥5,000. Small shifts in the assumed discount rate, revenue growth, profit margin, and future P/E have led only to a minor recalibration of their valuation framework rather than a change in the headline target.
