Japan Monthly Highlights Product Manager MONTHLY 31 August 2015 Asia Pacific/Japan Equity Research Product Marketing Japan Monthly Highlights Product Manager MONTHLY Daisuke Takato 813 4550 9671 [email protected] August 2015 ■ August saw a rout in global equities triggered by concerns over China's economic stability. This came on the back of a prolonged commodities slump, an emerging markets slowdown, and increased currency fluctuations. It is precisely in times of volatility that investment opportunities are created, we highlight stocks that look to have been oversold despite solid fundamentals and that we think investors should hold. Examples include Lion (4912), Shinsei (8303), Nomura Real Estate (3231), Japan Airlines (9201), Fuji Heavy (7270), DaikyoNishikawa (4246), and Murata (6981). ■ The construction sector is poised for long-term growth, owing to the repatriation of Japanese manufacturing capacity amid a weaker yen, the rising need to renovate old buildings, and a slate of large infrastructure projects including the 2020 Summer Olympics. Construction order prices could also rise given the dearth of skilled workers. These factors should lift share prices for construction, cement and steel, writes analyst Masahiro Mochizuki in a Connection Series report with materials analyst Jun Yamaguchi and Shinya Yamada. We upgraded our stances on the construction and cement sectors from Market Weight to OVERWEIGHT and maintained our OVERWEIGHT on the steel sector. We added Shimizu (1803) and Taiheiyo Cement (5233) to the Japan Focus List. ■ Hideyuki Maekawa says semiconductor capacity utilization is at the lowest levels in the post-Lehman era, as additional production cutbacks have been made in August across all applications and process nodes. Moreover, he sees no signs of new large SPE orders over the next four quarters and recommends investors wait to see a clear rebound in foundry utilization rates before attempting to bottom-fish. Maekawa cut target prices on SPE names: Tokyo Electron (8035), Disco (6146), Hitachi Kokusai (6756), SCREEN (7735), Advantest (6857). In a separate report, Maekawa and Akinori Kanemoto point out that global inventory at technology companies remains at elevated levels. ■ The weakness in tech has been felt across the supply chain with silicon wafers continuing their weakness. Masami Sawato cut his target prices for both SUMCO (3436) and Shin-Etsu Chemical (4063), as shipments are still declining, inventories at a historical high, and price hikes being pushed back to early/mid-2016. DISCLOSURE APPENDIX AT THE BACK OF THIS REPORT CONTAINS IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES, ANALYST CERTIFICATIONS, AND THE STATUS OF NON-US ANALYSTS. US Disclosure: Credit Suisse does and seeks to do business with companies covered in its research reports. As a result, investors should be aware that the Firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report. Investors should consider this report as only a single factor in making their investment decision. CREDIT SUISSE SECURITIES RESEARCH & ANALYTICS BEYOND INFORMATION® Client-Driven Solutions, Insights, and Access 31 August 2015 ■ Amid the rising macro concerns, our autos, retail and trading companies analysts each did a scenario analysis of how their respective sectors are impacted by a China slowdown, exchange rate fluctuations, and/or a commodities slump. ■ Fumiyoshi Sakai upgraded M3 (2413) to OUTPERFORM as he assumed coverage of the medical information portal operator. He sees the MR-kun Family (marketing support for drugmakers) and M3 Career (job-change support for medical professionals) driving growth as adds customers and expands overseas. One risk is stricter regulations, such as revision of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, that impact drugmakers' provision of information and services to physicians and medical institutions via M3. Sakai also upgraded medical equipment maker Sysmex (6869) to OUTPERFORM. ■ With all the focus on inbound tourism, analyst Taketo Yamate started a databook series to stay on top of the trends. The latest figure shows that in Apr–Jun 2015, the number of Chinese visitors to Japan grew 2.4x YoY to 1.24mn. Per-capita expenditure on shopping averaged ¥173,000 (+44% YoY, of which we estimate yen devaluation contributed +18%). ■ The Apr–Jun quarter earnings came to a close, with companies beating consensus by 17% at the net profit level. Japan Monthly Highlights 2 31 August 2015 Japan Focus List We added Softbank (9984), Shimizu (1803) and Taiheiyo Cement (5233) to the Japan Focus List, and removed NTT (9432) and NGK Insulators (5333). Performance held up well with companies such as Toray (3402) and Ono Pharmaceuticals (4528) leading the way along with the newly added stocks.

  • Low-Activation Reinforced Concrete Design Methodology (9) － Low-Activation Concrete Based on Limestone Aggregates and White Cement－
    Transactions, SMiRT 19, Toronto, August 2007 Paper # HW1/4 Low-Activation Reinforced Concrete Design Methodology (9) － Low-Activation Concrete Based on Limestone Aggregates and White Cement－ Masaharu Kinno1), Norichika Katayose1), Ken-ichi Kimura1), Hirokazu Nishida1), Yusuke Fujikura1), Takao Tanosaki2), Masaki Takimoto2) and Akira Hasegawa3) 1) Technology Development Division, Fujita Corporation, Atsugi, Japan 2) Taiheiyo Cement Corporation, Tokyo, Japan 3) Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan ABSTRACT Manufacturing tests regarding the 1/30-low-activation concrete for a nuclear power plant were performed. Here, “1/30-low-activation” concrete denotes that the activity reduction rate to the ordinary concrete is designed to be 1/30. The detailed data regarding the concentrations of Co and Eu in limestone, white cement, silica fume, and limestone powder were obtained. The low-heat type of 1/30-low-activation concrete was developed by admixing with the low-activation limestone powder, and the low-heat type of 1/50-low-activation concrete was developed by admixing with the low-activation silica fume and/or the low-activation limestone powder. By admixing with the B4C of which concentration is from 1 to 2.5 w%, the total residual radioactivity reduction ratio of the above low-activation concrete to the ordinary concrete, in ΣDi/Ci unit, is estimated to be from 1/100 to 1/1,500. INTRODUCTION Concrete－widely used in a nuclear plant as a neutron shield because of its excellent shielding properties and low cost－includes a large quantity of residual radionuclide induced by neutron irradiation, and this concrete still remains to an enormous degree as radioactive waste after decommissioning.

  • Low-Activation Reinforced Concrete Design Methodology -Fundamental Investigation for Various Types of Low-Activation Concrete
    Fujita Technical Research Report No.43 2007 Low-Activation Reinforced Concrete Design Methodology -Fundamental Investigation for various Types of Low-Activation Concrete- Ken-ichi Kimura, Masaharu Kinno, Hirokazu Nishida, Noritcika Katayose, Mikihiro Nakata2), Katsumi Hayashi3), Mikio Uematsu4) and Akira Hasegawa1) Abstract Concrete is very useful and inexpensive material. However after long-term use in a nuclear powerplant it can become both expensive and difficult. One possible solution to this problem is the use of low-activation concrete, which has much less residual radioactivity even after many years of operation. In this paper, we evaluated fifty raw materials by radiochemical analyses, which assessed the quantities of dominant trace elements for the activation under specific conditions. From these investigations, three kinds of aggregates (fused alumina ceramics, silica sand and limestone) and two kinds of cements (high alumina cement and white cement) were selected as raw materials for the low–activation concrete. Finally, six types of low-activation concrete and two mortars were proposed and their mix proportions described so as to make them suitable for different areas within nuclear plants. Areas of investigation for further improvements were also identified. §1. Introduction to the decommissioning of nuclear power plants. The Concrete enveloping a nuclear reactor retains key areas of programme include; investigation of residual radioactivity after decommissioning. Disposal residual radionuclides in construction materials of such radioactive concrete is very costly and requires around a reactor, improvement and development of strict supervision. From this point of view, we have low-activation materials, and establishment of developed a new concrete that retains little residual low-activation design method for the reduction of the radioactivity – i.e.
