Is ROHM’s New SiC MOSFET and Optical Sensor Lineup Altering The Investment Case For ROHM (TSE:6963)?

• ROHM Semiconductor recently began mass production of its SCT40xxDLL SiC MOSFET series in compact TOLL packages and its RPR-0730 high-precision analog optical sensor, targeting high-power-density systems like AI servers, ESS, printers, and conveyor equipment.
• By combining higher-voltage, thermally efficient SiC devices with ultra-compact, fast optical sensing, ROHM is sharpening its focus on miniaturized, high-performance industrial and computing applications.
• We’ll now examine how the new high-voltage SiC MOSFET lineup could influence ROHM’s existing investment narrative and future positioning.

The new 750 V TOLL SiC MOSFETs modestly support that thesis near term by reinforcing ROHM’s position in high power density computing and industrial systems, but they do not on their own resolve the key risk around weak profitability and the potential for further pressure if industrial and EV demand remain soft.

Among recent announcements, ROHM’s raised guidance to JPY 460,000 million in net sales and JPY 5,000 million in operating profit for the year ending March 2026 feels most relevant. It shows management is still targeting a gradual earnings recovery while investing in SiC capacity and new product platforms like the SCT40xxDLL series, which could help if SiC demand in AI servers, ESS, and EV related applications strengthens over time.

Yet even with these product wins, investors should be aware that ROHM still faces the risk of prolonged industrial and EV market softness, where...
