ORIX

IX

Market cap $27.7B

My rating for ORIX is lifted to buy after analyzing its 1QFY26 earnings beat and considering potential re-rating triggers. The first quarter bottom line was 15% above the consensus estimate thanks to the outperformance of the Energy and Real Estate segments; I think this sets the stage for an eventual full-year guidance raise. ORIX has made greater-than-expected progress with its current repurchase program, and it is likely that a fresh buyback plan will be contemplated before this fiscal year ends.

I'll be the master of ceremony.

My rating for ORIX Corporation is lowered from Buy to Hold, considering its short-term prospects and mid-term targets. ORIX's FY25 earnings and FY26 bottom-line guidance missed their respective consensus forecasts by -7% and -9%, respectively. But there's potential for a positive valuation re-rating in time to come, if the company's ROE improves from 8.8% last year to the targeted 11% in three years' time.
