Select Model
Rating:69Neutral
Price Target:
¥5,813.00
▼(-22.90% Downside)
Action:Downgraded
Date:05/02/26
The score is driven primarily by strong recent financial performance (accelerating revenue and materially higher margins) and an improving leverage trend. Offsetting this are mixed technical signals (negative MACD and price below key mid-term moving averages) and a valuation that is not cheap despite support from a ~3.2% dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Sustained revenue growth
Revenue has re-accelerated for two consecutive years after a flat 2023, indicating durable demand for its PCB materials. This sustained top-line momentum supports scale, pricing leverage and long-term customer relationships tied to recurring, production-linked electronics demand.
Negative Factors
Uneven free cash flow conversion
Free cash flow has been volatile, with a severe drop in 2024 before rebounding. That variability—driven by working capital and capex swings—can hinder repeatable reinvestment, dividend reliability and make funding growth or deleveraging less predictable.
