Stock price when the opinion was issued
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.)
(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.
