After seeking a bottom, shares of Nippon Hume <5262> marked a year-to-date low of \1,070 in late March. The stock has since halted its decline, showing early signs of an imminent rebound. As a manufacturer of precast concrete products, including Hume pipes for water and sewage systems, the company projects an operating profit of \2.3 billion (up 14% year-on-year) for the fiscal year ending March 2026. Furthermore, supported by the government's national resilience policies, double-digit profit growth remains in sight for the fiscal year ending March 2027.

The stock previously drew significant attention as a leading play on sewage infrastructure reconstruction, demonstrating its capacity for sharp rallies when it hit an all-time high of \2,690 in early September of last year. Although recent performance has been lackluster, selling pressure appears to have run its course. Should the stock regain its momentum, its potential to recapture market interest will likely come back into focus.
