Vertex Corporation <5290> has demonstrated resilience amid the broader market correction since March. Further upward momentum is anticipated as the stock enters a zone with no overhead resistance.

Vertex manufactures precast concrete products, offering solutions for sewage systems and flood control. With road cave-ins occurring nationwide due to aging water and sewage infrastructure, replacement demand for the company's mainstay products, including manholes and Hume pipes, is expected to expand further. Products for underground retention basins are also projected to see medium-term growth.

Vertex's operating profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2026 is \6.8 billion (up 8.2% year-on-year), marking another consecutive record high. This puts Vertex on track to achieve its \6.5 billion target, set in its medium-term management plan for the fiscal year ending March 2027, ahead of schedule. Vertex is also actively pursuing business expansion through M&A. The stock has entered a price range with no supply overhang and continues to trend along the +1 sigma line of the daily Bollinger Bands. (Midori)
