<6590> Shibaura is up sharply at 7440, up 290. Jefferies Securities continues its investment rating of "buy" and has raised its target stock price from 9500 yen to 10000 yen. Although the stock price has returned after the earnings, the valuation is still in the PER 10's on a forecast basis for fiscal year 24, indicating significant upside potential from a valuation standpoint. The solid continuation of CoWoS-related orders and the outlook for recovery in the front-end process from the second half of the year suggests that the stock price will also return to its level with the recovery of ordering momentum.
