Summary · why it matters

Visteon has entered Micron's new Strategic Customer Agreements for automotive memory and storage, adding a new partnership to its narrative as the company approaches an expected year-over-year earnings and revenue decline. The stock last closed at $104.85, with a most-followed fair value estimate of $133.67, suggesting a 21.6% undervaluation. Recent new business wins total $1.9 billion, including deals with Toyota and fast-growing domestic OEMs in China, while expansion into India's two-wheeler segment and partnerships with Chinese OEMs expanding abroad are expected to support revenue diversification. However, tariff uncertainty and exposure to Chinese market swings remain key risks to the valuation case.

Dechang Shares H1 Revenue Up 11.7% to 2.31 Billion Yuan, Net Profit Down 69.67%

Dechang Shares disclosed at its 2026 semi-annual results briefing that first-half operating revenue reached 2.31 billion yuan, up 11.7% year on year, while net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was 33.5884 million yuan, down 69.67% year on year. Revenue in both of the company's main business segments maintained growth, with auto parts revenue at 337 million yuan, up 19.93% year on year, and home appliance revenue at 1.973 billion yuan, up 13.20% year on year. The sharp decline in net profit was mainly affected by exchange rate fluctuations, with an exchange loss of 56.5935 million yuan in the reporting period, compared with an exchange gain of 9.2783 million yuan in the same period last year, while a year-on-year decline in the main business gross margin also squeezed profit margins. The company said its automotive motor business added five new designated projects during the period, with a full life-cycle value exceeding 800 million yuan. Domestic steer-by-wire motors have entered mass production, motors supporting overseas autonomous driving projects have been delivered, and multiple new intelligent chassis products are under development. Some models of robot dexterous hand joint motors have completed verification, preliminary finalization, and achieved small-batch delivery. The private placement registration approval has been obtained for nearly a year, and the company said the project has already been started with self-owned funds and will be advanced at an appropriate time within the validity period of the approval.

Vishay Launches Four 650 V Superjunction MOSFET Power Modules in SOT-227 Package

Vishay Intertechnology introduced four new power modules featuring 650 V superjunction MOSFETs in the industry-standard SOT-227 package. The Vishay Semiconductors VS-FC50SA65, VS-FC100SA65, VS-FC150SA65, and VS-FC50LA65 are designed to deliver an optimized balance between conduction and switching losses for high efficiency power conversion in industrial applications. Three of the devices are in a single-switch configuration with nominal current ratings of 50 A, 100 A, and 150 A, while the fourth is a 50 A device in a low side chopper configuration that integrates a 650 V SiC diode. All four leverage the latest 650 V superjunction MOSFET technology to achieve a competitive tradeoff between on-resistance and gate charge, and they operate over a temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. The SOT-227 package provides a drop-in replacement for competing solutions, lowering costs by eliminating the need for PCB redesigns, and sample and production quantities are available now with lead times of 12 weeks.

Nidec Shares Plunge 18% After PwC Declines to Sign Off on Annual Report

Nidec Corp shares tumbled as much as 18% to 1,888.0 yen on Thursday after auditor PwC declined to vouch for the accuracy of the company's long-delayed annual report. The report, released Wednesday for the fiscal year ending March 2026, showed a substantially wider operating loss of 518.9 billion yen, or $3 billion, driven by an impairment loss of 632 billion yen tied to its automotive and commercial products divisions. PwC added a disclaimer stating it was unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to form an opinion on the financial report, compounding a reputational crisis that began over a year ago when Nidec admitted to improper accounting and governance practices. An independent investigation found misconduct including non-disclosure of impairment losses and delays in recognizing inventory depreciation, and the company acknowledged material weaknesses in internal control, saying it will undertake initiatives to fix governance and compliance. Nidec must submit a report on internal controls to the Tokyo Stock Exchange by end-October or risk de-listing, and on Wednesday it also announced the abrupt resignation of CEO Mitsuya Kishida, with CTO Michio Kaida to take over as CEO and president.

Nidec's 632.1 Billion Yen Impairment Within Expectations, but Auditor's Disclaimer of Opinion Weighs on Share Price

Nidec, a global leader in motors, reported on September 30 its results for the fiscal year ended March 2026, posting an impairment loss of approximately 632.1 billion yen related to past accounting fraud issues. While many analysts viewed the size of the loss as within market expectations, the prevailing view is that the audit firm's continued disclaimer of opinion on the financial statements will weigh on the share price. Takayuki Naito of Citigroup Global Markets Japan, Shoji Sato of Morgan Stanley MUFG Securities, Ryusuke Katsura of SMBC Nikko Securities, and Kengo Seitaka of Mizuho Securities each offered their views.
