    ROHM (TSE:6963) drew fresh attention on 22 July 2026 after announcing the BD83070GWL-EVK-002 evaluation board, a compact platform built to showcase its high efficiency BD83070GWL DC-DC converter for small battery-powered devices.

    Most Popular Narrative: 23% Undervalued

    ROHM last closed at ¥4,331, compared with a widely followed fair value estimate of ¥5,590 that reflects detailed revenue, margin and valuation assumptions.

    ROHM is planning to increase its production capacity and efficiency for SiC (silicon carbide) power devices, correlating with expected battery EV market growth, which should enhance revenue and earnings as demand eventually picks up. The company is implementing a new organizational structure to better cater to customer needs and market applications, which aims to improve sales and potentially increase net margins by offering more integrated, solution-based proposals.
