0443 GMT - Nissei ASB Machine stands to benefit from some tailwinds, SMBC Nikko Securities' Ryozo Minagawa says in a research report. Its molding machines are in high demand, especially in the U.S., Europe, and India, with orders having risen 25% on-year in 2Q of the current fiscal year, the analyst say. The Japanese company's machinery is highly efficient in terms of resource and energy consumption. Also, some regulations of EU's 'Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation' could spark medium-term growth in demand for the company's machines as they are compatible with recycled polyethylene-terephthalate bottle production. The brokerage initiates coverage of the stock with an outperform rating and target price of 13,000 yen. Shares are up 10.5% at Y10,180.(ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
