We maintain our Buy recommendation and the same valuation target for NTT DoCoMo (DCM), the largest mobile service provider in Japan, ahead of first quarter of fiscal 2010 financial results. The company currently maintains a leading 50% share of the Japanese wireless market.

DCM upgraded 98% of its total coverage area with 3G HSDPA technologies and emerging 4G LTE networks are planned for deployment through 2010. DCM's decisions to focus on mobile content along with a renewed geographic expansion drive outside Japan are positive indicators.

Furthermore, the company is launching an innovative on-line money transfer service. We consider DCM as an attractive long-term investment opportunity.Zacks Investment Research

Supported by its new customer pricing plan, NTT DoCoMo, the largest wireless service provider in Japan, declared respectable financial results for its first half of fiscal 2009 (ended September 30, 2008). The company's operating income increased 41% year-over-year, which offset a minor reduction in revenue.

DCM currently holds 51.5% share of the Japanese cellular market. The introduction of NTT DoCoMo's discount-priced service plans progressed as customer churn rates improved significantly. Stronger foreign currency rates, with respect to Yen against Dollar, have also raised valuation levels of DCM ADR shares.

Operationally, the company has upgraded 98% of its total coverage area with 3G HSDPA technologies and its emerging 4G LTE network is likely to be installed by 2010. We reiterate our Buy recommendation with a higher valuation target, as our assessment indicates improved financial performance due to technological superiority. "DCM" Free Stock Analysis: Buy? Sell?
