Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Strong Europe profit growth up 221.3% offsets other regional tariff and cost pressures.
  • Revenue rose 5.3% to ¥7.54T driven by higher vehicle sales and cost recovery.
  • Raised dividends to ¥67 for FY2026 and forecasts ¥74 for FY2027 despite profit decline.

What critics are saying

  • Lost Rohm silicon carbide access blocks in-house EV production as new entity may prioritize Toshiba/Mitsubishi.
  • 50% revenue from Toyota Group exposes Denso to plant closures amid $4.2B net loss and job cuts.
  • Slower xEV adoption undermines EV motor and cooling investments as US/EU demand already slows.

What makes Denso unique
