What this means

Kokuyo clears its cost of capital, but the record is mixed across the five tests. Real value creation, just not yet consistent.

Description

Analysis

Bargain bin

Kokuyo Co., Ltd. falls in the bargain bin: the price is low relative to peers, but the business metrics give reason to pause. One caution: reported profits have recently run ahead of actual cash, which we track closely.

The price is fair. You pay 15.8× its owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year, which is in the historically fair zone.

The trajectory is tepid and the balance sheet is sturdy. The company scores 10/20 on our value-creation score: creating some value. Analyst sentiment is cautious.

What to watch: Some accounting patterns deserve a closer look. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
