Wall St futures steady with Fed meeting underway; Powell remarks awaited
Investing.com - Jefferies has initiated coverage on Net Protections Holdings Inc (7383:JP) with a Buy rating and a price target of JPY1,100.00, according to a research note released Wednesday.
The research firm highlights that Net Protections Holdings is positioning itself strategically between merchants and payment providers for both offline and online payment processing.
Jefferies notes that the company offers flexibility in cash transfer methods, either directly from payment providers or through its own systems, while collecting valuable payment and customer data.
The firm believes this data collection capability should enable Net Protections Holdings to accelerate digital transformation and cashless transactions, with potential synergies from KDDI and Lawson’s efforts to digitalize convenience stores.
Jefferies identifies three key themes in its analysis: AI-based signage driven by customer movements and buying behaviors, automated cooking machines, and AI agents designed to improve convenience store operational efficiency.
