Description

Analysis

Weak and unloved

Yakult Honsha Co.,Ltd. is weak and unloved: below-average business metrics and a price that reflects that disappointment.

The price is expensive. You pay 93.2× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone.

The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 7/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

Nothing is flagged here: no red or amber gates, no divergence between profits and cash. That is itself information: the numbers are straightforward. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
