“Foster Electric (6794) — Strategic expectations Foster Electric (Foster) was the second-largest contributor over the month, adding +76bps to performance as its shares returned +11.5%. Foster is a global manufacturer of acoustic components, with a particular focus on speakers and related products used in automotive and consumer applications. In August, Foster reported first-quarter revenue growth of 9.2% year-on-year to JPY35.1bn, while operating profit declined by 66.9% to JPY0.6bn, reflecting the negative impact of Trump’s tariffs and material cost increases. The company nevertheless maintained its full-year operating profit guidance of JPY8.0bn and increased its annual dividend forecast to JPY115 per share. In July, the company announced that it would formulate a new medium-term management plan jointly with Axium Capital, the Singapore-based engagement fund that holds approximately 25% of Foster’s voting rights. The new plan, expected to be published in November, is intended to address the company’s long-standing challenges around profitability and capital efficiency.
