An update from Nippon Aqua Co., Ltd. ( (JP:1429) ) is now available.
Nippon Aqua reported that its price-to-book ratio has stayed between 2.3 and 3.3 times over the past six years, reaching 2.4 times in 2025 as higher valuation multiples offset a slight decline in return on equity. Despite this moderation, ROE has consistently far exceeded the company’s roughly 5% cost of equity, supporting management’s emphasis on capital efficiency and shareholder value.
Under its medium-term plan through fiscal 2026, the company targets a sustainable growth rate of 10%, ROE of 20%, an operating margin of 10%, and a 50% dividend payout ratio, but 2025 results fell short amid strategic pricing, market changes, and project mix effects. Management argues these moves, along with continued dialogue with investors and a focus on maintaining ROE above the cost of equity, should bolster profitability and corporate value over the medium to long term.
The most recent analyst rating on (JP:1429) stock is a Buy with a Yen825.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Nippon Aqua Co., Ltd. stock, see the JP:1429 Stock Forecast page.
