My "Hold" rating for Subaru Corporation remains intact after analyzing its financial performance and capital distribution plans. The 72.6% drop in FUJHY's FY2026 EPS draws attention to its risks associated with geographic concentration and delayed EV transition. But the new 150 billion yen buyback program sends positive signals about Subaru's financial strength and potential shareholder returns.
