▲(21.63% Upside)
The score is driven primarily by strong financial performance—especially margin expansion and a debt-free balance sheet with improving returns—supported by constructive technical momentum. Valuation is also supportive with a mid-teens P/E and ~2% dividend yield. The main constraint is uneven revenue growth and a recent softening in cash conversion/free cash flow trend.

How the Company Makes Money

Justplanning, Inc. Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong fundamentals driven by materially improved profitability (gross margin ~36% in 2020 to ~51% in 2025; net margin ~4% to ~17%) and a very conservative, debt-free balance sheet with rising equity and improving ROE (~3–4% to ~10%). Offsetting factors are uneven revenue growth and softer recent cash conversion versus earnings, with free cash flow declining since 2022.
Income Statement
78
Positive
Profitability has strengthened materially over the last several years, with gross margin improving from ~36% (2020) to ~51% (2025) and net margin rising from ~4% to ~17%. Operating performance is solid, with EBIT margin in the low-to-mid 20%s in 2024–2025. Revenue growth is modest and somewhat uneven (decline in 2021 and 2023, then a rebound in 2024 and stronger growth in 2025), so the top-line trajectory is positive but not consistently high-growth.
Balance Sheet
88
Very Positive
The balance sheet is very conservative with zero reported debt across all periods and a steadily growing equity base (stockholders’ equity rising from ~¥3.15B in 2020 to ~¥3.68B in 2025). Returns on equity have improved meaningfully (from ~3–4% in 2020 to ~10% in 2024–2025), signaling better profit generation on shareholder capital. The key trade-off is that with no leverage, growth is likely funded primarily through internal cash generation, which can limit upside if expansion opportunities accelerate.
Cash Flow
72
Positive
Free cash flow is consistently positive, but recent cash conversion softened: in 2025 operating cash flow was below net income (operating cash flow to net income ~0.95) and free cash flow was also slightly below net income (~0.92). Cash generation was stronger in 2022–2024 (operating cash flow to net income >1 in those years), but free cash flow has declined year-over-year since 2022, indicating some near-term pressure from working capital or investment needs despite higher earnings.
