TOPIX Core 30 Index outlook and key points 15 December 2010
Japanese full report & English summary: 10 Dec
1. Assuming all goes well, we expect the TOPIX Core 30 Index to seek to regain its April Report no. S10-078
2010 high through spring 2011.
2. We expect stocks that have been in the doldrums for some considerable time to catch Nikkei Average (10 December)
up through 2011 Q1. Specifically, we focus on the three megabanks, Nintendo, Nippon
10,211.95
Steel, Toyota Motor, and Seven & i Holdings.
3. Some stocks that have been at the forefront of the rally to date have started to show
TOPIX (10 December)
signs of leveling off.
4. With the market likely to remain in a holding pattern for now, we think investors would 888.22
be best advised to continue avoiding defensive stocks. Please read the important
disclosures and analyst
• Index could work to regain April 2010 high by spring 2011: The TOPIX Core 30 certifications on pp. 69-72.gl
Index bottomed at its 2 November low of 435. Assuming all goes well, it could seek to
regain its 12 April 2010 high of 565 through spring 2011. With wave formation
suggesting that the index has moved into an upward phase corresponding to upward
wave 3, we think it could aim for 680, equivalent to a 38.2% retracement of the fall
between the February 2007 high of 1,140 and the March 2009 low of 395, over the
medium term.
• Focusing on catch-up by laggard stocks: We expect stocks that have been in the
doldrums for some considerable time to catch up through 2011 Q1. Specifically, we
regard the three megabanks Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group [8306], Sumitomo
Mitsui Financial Group [8316], and Mizuho Financial Group [8411], Nintendo
[7974], Nippon Steel [5401], Toyota Motor [7203], and Seven & i Holdings [3382]
as promising candidates to outperform the TOPIX. Many of these stocks have fallen
through Oct–Nov, and have considerable return reversal potential from a chart
perspective.
• Some stocks at forefront of rally likely to level off over short term: Some stocks
that have been at the forefront of the rally to date have started to show signs of
leveling off, including some export-oriented companies such as Honda Motor [7267]
and Canon [7751], Mitsui & Co [8031], and Mitsubishi Estate [8802]. With some of
these stocks peaking out or already forming a dead cross in terms of TOPIX-relative
MACD (12–26 week), we expect a correction over the near term. We also expect star
stocks for 2010 such as Komatsu [6301] and Softbank [9984] to move into a holding
pattern once the rally runs its course.
• Best to stay away from defensive stocks: Although defensive stocks appear to
have broadly bottomed out, we think they will continue to underperform while they
remain in a holding pattern. We think investors would be well advised to continue
steering clear of stocks such as Tokyo Electric Power [9501], Kansai Electric
Power [9503], Takeda Pharmaceutical [4502], Astellas Pharma [4503], Nippon
Telegraph and Telephone [9432], and NTT Docomo [9437].

Japan Tobacco [2914] (¥291,000)
• The stock price had been declining since January 2010, but could now be on an uptrend since bottoming at
¥243,900 on 29 October.
• There has been an overall improvement in upturn signs on the chart. The TOPIX-relative MACD (12–26 week) has
bottomed and now looks likely to return to positive territory, while the TOPIX-relative stock price itself is now
pushing above the line of resistance that has held since January 2008. In the near term, we see the stock testing its
January 2010 high of ¥358,000.
• Once it has broken above this level, we would see it heading for ¥403,900, which represents a 38.2% retracement
of the decline from the December 2007 high of ¥708,000 to the March 2009 low of ¥216,000.

Seven and i Holdings [3382] (¥2,091)
• The recent rise has taken the share price above the medium-term resistance line running through highs of January
2006 and April 2010. It now looks likely that it formed a double bottom at the lows of ¥1,831 in December 2009 and
¥1,848 in November 2010.
• The TOPIX-relative MACD (12–26 week) looks to have bottomed. Once the stock has consolidated its current level,
we would expect it to head towards the April 2010 high of ¥2,468.
• Once it has broken above this level, we would see it heading for ¥3,202, which represents a 38.2% retracement of
the decline from the January 2006 high of ¥5,420 to the December 2009 low of ¥1,831.

Shin-Etsu Chemical [4063] (¥4,190)
• We expect the stock to remain in a holding pattern for now, bounded on the upside by the line running through the July
2007 and April 2010 highs and on the downside by the line running through the December 2008 and August 2010 lows.
• Even if it breaks above this range, we would expect it to remain range-bound with the line through the June 2008
and April 2010 highs (dotted line in top graph of Exhibit 1) forming the upper limit.
• The TOPIX-relative MACD (12–26 week) is still negative. We see the stock as unlikely to enter an uptrend until it
breaks above the downward channel since September 2009 sometime in the future, and we think it will take
considerable time for it to recover to the April 2010 high of ¥5,720.

12. Nomura Investment Strategy
Takeda Pharmaceutical [4502] (¥3,970)
• We expect little upside, but also see little risk on the downside. For now, we see the stock moving in a narrow range
between the May 2010 low of ¥3,690 and the March 2010 high of ¥4,300.
• The downtrend in the TOPIX-relative MACD (12–26 week) has steepened recently, making it more likely that it will
turn negative. We see the stock as unlikely to enter an uptrend until it breaks above the resistance line since August
2010 sometime in the future, and we think it will take considerable time for it to recover to the March 2010 high of
¥4,300.
