Price Target:
¥8.50
▲(6.25% Upside)
The score is primarily supported by solid financial performance—especially low leverage and acceptable profitability—but is held back by weak technicals (price below key moving averages with bearish momentum) and an unattractive valuation (very high P/E with only a modest dividend yield).

How the Company Makes Money

LAND Co., Ltd. Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Financial quality is good overall: a conservatively levered balance sheet (strongest area) and solid profitability in the latest period, but results are cyclical with a meaningful revenue decline in 2025 and inconsistent cash conversion (including negative operating/free cash flow in 2024 and zero free cash flow in 2025).
Income Statement
Profitability is strong in most years, with high gross and net margins in 2022–2023 and a clear rebound after the 2021 loss year. The latest annual period (2025) shows solid operating profitability (roughly 19% operating margin) and improved net margin versus 2024, but revenue declined meaningfully (down ~16.5%), and margins remain well below the 2022–2023 peak—suggesting a more volatile earnings profile than a steady compounder.
Balance Sheet
The balance sheet looks conservatively levered with low debt relative to equity across the periods (debt-to-equity generally in the mid-single to mid-teens), which supports financial flexibility. Returns on equity are strong in good years (notably 2022–2023) and improved again in 2025 versus 2024, but the history includes a sharp negative return year (2021), highlighting that asset/earnings swings can still materially impact shareholder returns.
Cash Flow
Cash generation is inconsistent. Operating cash flow is healthy in 2025 and covered net income well, but 2024 saw materially negative operating and free cash flow, indicating working-capital or project-timing volatility typical in real estate. Free cash flow is positive in several earlier years, yet the most recent year shows zero free cash flow despite strong operating inflow, pointing to elevated investment needs or cash absorption outside operations.
