Panasonic Holdings (TSE:6752) Following Battery Buzz And CF FC7 Launch Still Looks Undervalued

Panasonic Holdings (TSE:6752) is back in focus after two product driven storylines: fresh attention on its role in thin film and printed batteries, and the Let’s note CF-FC7 laptop launch in Europe.

This suggests long-term momentum remains strong despite a near term reset.
