Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Report's Core Viewpoints - In Q4 2025, the bond market showed a weak and volatile pattern. The performance of pure - bond funds improved overall. Short - term bond funds' scale recovered significantly under the dominant leveraged carry strategy, passive index bond funds' scale increased significantly due to institutional year - end volume - boosting, and hybrid secondary bond funds continued to expand rapidly due to the expected strong equity market. Bond funds adopted conservative strategies in terms of leverage and duration, focusing on coupon strategies and emphasizing the safety of credit assets. Money funds continued to grow in scale driven by both retail and institutional ends, with the 7 - day annualized average yield approaching 1% [189]. - Looking forward, the bond market pricing factors are favorable in February, but there is no new trend - setting factor. It is expected that the bond market will remain in a range - bound and slightly downward - fluctuating market. In March, insurance usually increases its entry, and from the end of March to early April, wealth management will continue to reserve assets for the second - quarter allocation, which may further catalyze the bond market. Attention should be paid to the potential concentrated redemptions of hybrid secondary bond funds due to increased equity market volatility. Also, it is possible to pay attention to the allocation market of 3 - 5 - year key - term credit bonds in Q1 2026 [192].

In bond structure, interest - rate bonds were mainly policy - bank bonds, and credit bonds were mainly Tier 2 capital bonds. In terms of duration, Treasury bonds showed a dumbbell - shaped characteristic, local government bonds preferred maturities over 10 years, and the rest of the varieties were mainly medium - and short - term with maturities within 5 years. In terms of credit rating, industrial bonds and Tier 2 capital bonds were concentrated in high - grade bonds above AA +, and urban investment bonds focused on short - term credit risk - taking to explore coupon value [16][20][29]. 2.

In the joint - venture capacity, about 40% is for KIOXIA's use, and about 40% is for SanDisk's use. The overall wafer production capacity ratio is approximately KIOXIA:SanDisk = 6:4. KIOXIA has 100% control over the wafer manufacturing of the Yokkaichi and Kitakami factories and independently controls all elements required for the operation and production management of the two factories [15]. 3.2 NAND Market Outlook - In the data center & enterprise - level, strong demand is driven by significant investment in the artificial intelligence field. There is a continuous replacement demand for traditional servers, strong demand for AI inference workloads, and the shortage of NL - HDD is generating medium - term demand for high - capacity QLC SSDs [21]. - In the mobile phone & PC market, the market is shifting from low - cost models to high - end models with AI functions, and the rising BOM cost may restrict the overall shipment volume [21]. - In terms of supply - demand relationship, the current demand is extremely strong. Based on public data, the NAND industry still maintains investment discipline, so the overall demand is expected to exceed supply. Considering the possible continuous restriction on the supply side, the company expects the market bit growth rate to remain unchanged from the previous guidance: around 15% in CY2025 and 15 - 20% in CY2026 [5][21]. 3.3 Company FY25Q4 Performance Guidance - Operating revenue is expected to reach 845 - 935 billion yen in FY25Q4 (a 63.7% quarter - on - quarter increase based on the median). The main driving factor is the selling price, and the company expects significant price increases for products in all application fields. Although the total shipment volume in GB is expected to decline, the shipment proportion of data center and enterprise - level SSDs is expected to increase. In the smart device field, the demand for high - end smartphones remains strong, and the shipment volume is expected to decrease only slightly [24]. - Non - GAAP operating profit is expected to reach 440 - 530 billion yen in FY25Q4 (a 235.2% quarter - on - quarter increase based on the median). The goal is to further improve the profit margin beyond the 26.6% in the third quarter. In addition to price increases, profitability will be further improved by expanding sales of high - value - added products such as those for data centers [24]. - Non - GAAP net profit is expected to reach 310 - 370 billion yen in FY25Q4 (a 279.9% quarter - on - quarter increase based on the median) [24]. - Product progress: The 8th - generation BiCS FLASH is progressing as planned and is expected to become the company's main product by the end of March 2026, with its production proportion exceeding that of the 5th - generation product. The company will continue to meet AI - related demand and expand the supply of competitive products to further improve the profit level [24].
