Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.

Canon Inc. (CAJPY-OTC) has recently attracted positive attention from analysts, particularly due to a competitive edge in lithography processes, which are now at a scaling phase. One expert noted impressive profitability, commenting on a 12-month price target of $36.50, up from current levels around $32.41, despite having seen a 25% increase this year. There's confidence in Canon's strong market position and balance sheet, supported by high demand for legacy chipmaking machines. However, some caution is advised as experts highlight the need for careful observation of the stock due to its less familiar footing in the market compared to competitors like ASML, which faces its own challenges. Overall, while Canon presents an attractive investment opportunity, the current valuation remains decent, making it a topic of interest for potential investors.

12-month price target has a skinny runway of $36.50.

WAIT
Up 25% this year.

Took some profits. Now at $32.41, 12-month price target of $36.50. Competitive lithography process, at the point of scaling it. He's now considering whether to get back in. Fabulous job, deep pockets, can scale. Will be very competitive with ASML (which has issues of its own). He'd wait and is watching very closely.

CAJPY is based in Japan, so keep in mind we do not follow it closely. It has strong market share, a strong balance sheet, and good expected earnings growth. Even with good gains this year, valuation is decent at 14X earnings. Its legacy chipmaking machines are seeing very strong demand. We would consider it a decent investment but please not the first line above. We do not know it very well.

Stock's held in, even as the wider Japanese market rolled over. He took some profits from ASML and put them into CAJPY. It's come out with lithography equipment that's cheaper and just as productive as that from ASML.
