Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Murata will benefit from increasing passive components demand per phone, as a result of advancing technology in telecommunications. In particular, diffusion of LTE and LTE-advanced networks will be the driver.

Bears

The average pricing of smartphones has been gradually decreasing since 2012 and the profitability of handset makers is declining as a result. Consequently, the price-cut pressure for components will strengthen.
