AVI Global Trust Joe Bauernfreund | “Tokyo Gas was one of your Company's strongest contributors in the interim period, adding 66bps to NAV as its shares generated a return of +34% (GBP). Tokyo Gas is Japan's largest city gas utility company, boasting 30% Liquid Natural Gas market share across the greater Tokyo region. AVI's attraction is to the significant and undervalued real estate portfolio, which has been independently appraised to be worth c. 60% of Tokyo Gas' market capitalisation. The performance in the period was driven primarily by a dramatic earnings recovery in the 2025 financial year, with first quarter net income up by +439% year-on-year, as higher gas prices in the US fed through to Tokyo Gas' overseas shale operations. On 25 March 2026, the company unveiled its new Medium-Term Management Plan, which confirmed a strong recurring profit target and a progressive dividend. However, the capital allocation framework fell short of what we believe is required to further drive a re-rating in the shares. One development that we note with particular interest is the reopening of the Shinjuku Park Tower hotel following a period of renovation. Tokyo Gas' management previously indicated that this asset, which we estimate represents c. 11% of market cap, may not be considered core to their operations. We believe that the reopening of the building may position this asset for divestment over the medium term.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 2, 2026 | View Pitch |
