Curious how numbers become stories that shape markets? Explore Community Narratives TSE:8897 Earnings & Revenue History as at Feb 2026 ## Profit swing and margin picture - Over the last 12 months, MIRARTH earned ¥9,316 million of net income on ¥188,438 million of revenue, giving it a 4.9% net profit margin compared with 4.8% in the prior year. - What stands out for bullish investors is that this 4.9% margin sits alongside a trailing twelve month EPS of ¥68.56. However, the latest annual period shows negative earnings growth compared with the earlier five year EPS growth rate of 12.8% a year, so the recent softness in earnings growth pushes back on a simple growth story. - Supporters pointing to the 12.8% five year EPS growth rate have to weigh it against the weaker most recent year, even though margins stayed close to last year. - This mix of modest profitability and a slower latest year creates a more balanced picture than a straightforward bullish growth narrative would suggest. ## P/E discount versus peers - The shares trade on a trailing P/E of 6.1x, compared with 13.2x for the Japan real estate industry, 14x for peers and 15.1x for the broader Japan market, so the stock sits at a clear valuation discount on this metric. - Supporters of the bullish view argue that a 6.1x P/E multiple on trailing EPS of ¥68.56 and a dividend yield of 5.05% looks cheap against those higher peer multiples. Yet the same data also show negative earnings growth in the most recent year, which may explain why the market is not assigning an industry level P/E. - On one hand, the history of 12.8% annual EPS growth over five years and a 4.9% net margin can be used to argue the current multiple is too low relative to peers on 13.2x to 15.1x. - On the other hand, the weaker most recent year of earnings growth, alongside cash flow coverage concerns, helps explain why the discount exists despite that growth track record. Investors weighing up that 6.1x P/E against the quality of earnings and cash flow may find it useful to see how others frame the upside and downside case in more detail, so you might want to read both sides before you decide where you stand. **📊 Read the full MIRARTH HOLDINGSInc Consensus Narrative.** ## Cash flow strain behind income - Alongside the 5.05% dividend yield and ¥9,316 million of trailing net income, the company is flagged for having a dividend that is not well covered by free cash flow and debt that is not well covered by operating cash flow. - Critics focusing on a more bearish angle highlight that weak free cash flow coverage of the 5.05% dividend and limited operating cash flow coverage of debt sit alongside a DCF fair value estimate of ¥287.33 versus a current share price of ¥416, which they see as evidence that the recent income and dividend profile may not fully support the present share price. - The combination of a relatively high dividend yield with poor free cash flow coverage feeds the concern that distributions might be harder to sustain if cash generation softens. - The gap between the ¥287.33 DCF fair value and the ¥416 share price, together with leverage coverage concerns, is exactly what more cautious investors point to when they question how durable the current valuation is. ## Next Steps Don't just look at this quarter; the real story is in the long-term trend.
