The score is held back primarily by weak operating profitability and especially inconsistent cash flow (frequently negative free cash flow and low operating cash flow versus debt). Technicals also point to a weak trend with bearish momentum. Valuation is moderate (P/E 16.2) but the dividend yield is low, offering limited support.
Positive Factors
Re-accelerating revenue growth
An 11.5% revenue increase in FY2026 reflects recovering or expanding passenger volumes and demand for core tram services. Sustained top-line growth supports capacity to invest in service quality and network upkeep, bolstering long-term operational viability if trend continues.
Negative Factors
Persistent negative operating profit
Negative EBIT in consecutive years shows core operations fail to cover operating costs before financing and taxes. Without structural changes to cost base, pricing, or volumes, sustained negative operating profit undermines long-term earnings power and heightens reliance on non‑operating items or balance sheet support.

Hiroshima Electric Railway Co., Ltd. Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Revenue growth strengthened (FY2026 up 11.5%) and net income has been positive in recent years, but operating profitability is weak (negative EBIT in FY2025–FY2026). Balance sheet leverage appears manageable, yet returns on equity are modest. The biggest drag is unstable cash generation, with frequently negative free cash flow and weak operating cash flow relative to debt.
