Evaluating T&D Holdings (TSE:8795) After Farallon’s Governance Push and Profitability Concerns

Farallon Capital Management’s new perception study on T&D Holdings (TSE:8795) has put the spotlight on Taiyo Life’s profitability, capital efficiency oversight, and governance, prompting investors to reassess how much change could be forced from the outside.

The upbeat reaction to Farallon’s perception study is showing up in the tape, with a recent 1 month share price return of 9.36 percent helping T&D Holdings extend its strong year to date share price gains. At the same time, long term total shareholder returns remain robust, suggesting investors see scope for improved profitability and capital discipline rather than rising risk.

Given the spotlight on governance and capital efficiency, this could be a good moment to broaden your search and discover fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With shares up strongly over one and three years, trading below analyst targets and our estimate of intrinsic value, the real question now is whether T&D remains undervalued or if the market is already pricing in the next leg of growth.
