Sumitomo Corporation registered a -19% earnings miss for the most recent quarter, due to the underperformance of its cyclical business such as automotive and steel. Sumitomo Corporation has plans to restructure its business portfolio and increase the amount of capital returned to its shareholders, which I view as positive shareholder value enhancement drivers. Considering both the company's below-expectations results for the short term and its value enhancement moves for the long run, a Hold rating for the stock is warranted.
