Analysis
Story stock
The Japan Steel Works, Ltd. is a story stock: the narrative is ambitious and the price reflects it, but the underlying numbers are weak.
The price is expensive. You pay 136.1× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically expensive zone. At today's price, the market is assuming roughly 32% yearly growth; analysts expect 15%. The market is pricing in far more than analysts expect: heroic expectations.
The trajectory is moderate and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 7/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analysts lean positive.
What to watch: Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
