Net income decreased at a CAGR of minus 10.2% CAGR to JPY9.3bn.</p><p> The company increased its FCF from JPY9.4bn in FY 22 to JPY15.2bn in FY 25, boosted by increased cash inflows from operations, rising from JPY16bn to JPY21.1bn. Moreover, cash and cash equivalent increased from JPY45.7bn to JPY50.1bn. In addition, total debt decreased from JPY6.9bn to JPY4bn over FY 22-25. This pretty much halved its gearing from 6.1% to 3.2%.</p><p> In comparison, Dexerials Corporation, a local peer, reported higher revenue CAGR of 4.9%, reaching JPY110bn over FY 22-25. EBITDA rose at a CAGR of 12.2% to JPY45.8bn, with margins expanding from 33.9% to 41.5%.

As the stock has already reached its target price, any near-term correction in the stock price could a buy opportunity for investors.</p><p> Analysts’ views are supported by an estimated revenue CAGR of 7%, reaching JPY138.3bn and EBITDA CAGR of 10.5% over FY 25-28, reaching JPY24bn with margins expanding by 161bp to 17.4%. In addition, analysts estimate a net profit CAGR of 14.5%, reaching JPY14bn, with EPS expected to increase to JPY109.2 in FY 28 from JPY70.4.
