9432: Cost Discipline And Buybacks Will Support Future Rerating Potential

Analysts have trimmed their fair value estimate for NTT slightly, with the updated price target moving from about ¥176.21 to about ¥175.64. This reflects a modest reset following a downgrade at Deutsche Bank and a more measured view on discount rates, revenue growth, profit margins and future P/E assumptions.
