Keyence (6861-JP) is beginning to show positive momentum, with a 5% year-to-date increase in its stock price. The company specializes in machine-vision technology utilized in assembly lines, including code readers, laser markers, measuring systems, and sensors—all of which are anticipated to be in heightened demand, particularly with the growing production of robotics. As interest rates in Japan rise, there is optimism that this will also bolster the Japanese yen, potentially benefiting Keyence. Analysts note that the stock is currently trading at a lower price compared to its historical levels, making it an attractive investment opportunity. With a yield of 0.92%, the overall sentiment reflects a budding recovery and increasing interest in the company's offerings.

TOP PICK

The cycle is now starting to move in its favour. Stock's up 5% YTD. Machine-vision technology on assembly lines. Code readers, laser markers, measuring systems, sensors. All will be in demand for production of, for example, robots. Demand starting to pick up. Stock's really cheap compared to where it's been. 

Japanese interest rates are rising and, hopefully with that, the Japanese yen. (Price target in yen.) Yield is 0.92%.

(Analysts’ price target is $69836.84)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 13/21, Down 12%) Great company but waiting for catalyst. Makes and sells sensors for cost reduction in factories. Has been on sidelines for some time.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 14/21, Up 8%) Disappointed in how it has traded and has sold. Experts in machine vision to help robots see. Doesn't see catalyst now but long term is an amazing company.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 10/18, Up 2%) He exited soon after recommending it. Machine tool orders evaporated. People blame BREXIT, a slowing economy and so on. It is a great company and he is waiting for an inflection in capital spending.
TOP PICK

This is in machine vision, and there are only 3 companies playing at this level globally. Has been growing like crazy in all aspects of logistics and manufacturing, basically because human eyes are deficient and we can’t see tiny details. A fantastic balance sheet. Dividend yield of 0.1%. (Analysts’ price target is ¥56,500.)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Sept 19/16. Up 6.95%.) A Japanese sensors producer. Has a very unique business model. They are a fabulous semiconductor company, so they are capital light. There sensors are very affordable, and are sold to clients using a consultative sales process. Their biggest impediment to growth is to hire enough sales engineers to get out to factories and show them the opportunity to save money using their sensors.

TOP PICK

Manufactures sensors and machine vision systems. Automation is necessary to move to where we are trying to go in in terms of manufacturing quality. A very entrepreneurial company. All their products create tremendous cost savings for their clients. Dividend yield of 0.21%.
