Select Model
Rating:61Neutral
Price Target:
¥3,423.00
▲(14.85% Upside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/15/26
The score is driven mainly by improving fundamentals (earnings recovery, better operating profitability, solid cash flow, and reduced leverage). Offsetting this are weak technicals (price below key averages with bearish momentum) and a relatively expensive valuation (high P/E with low yield).
Positive Factors
Revenue & Earnings Recovery
Skylark's TTM revenue rise to 467,387B and net income recovery to 17,911B, supported by ~12% revenue growth and an improved EBIT margin (~6.7%). This sustained top-line and operating recovery enhances cash flow visibility, funds reinvestment and reduces reliance on external financing over months.
Negative Factors
Thin Net Margins
Net margins are thin (~3.8% TTM) despite healthy gross margins, leaving a limited buffer against input-cost inflation or traffic declines. Thin bottom-line profitability constrains retained earnings and makes long-term return generation and shareholder distributions sensitive to modest margin compression or revenue shortfalls.
