I am not an expert on Japanese companies, Spekulatius knows more about them, so it would be interesting to hear what he thinks.

However, with a brief look, this does not seem cheap.

TSE page lists ROE 11%, PE 18, PB 1.9. MSN agrees. MSN claims that future PE is 11, but personally I don't use future PEs and I would doubt that number if only single analyst covers the company.

Previously discussed AIT corp has better numbers, though it is not directly comparable.
Spekulatius's mention Treasure Factory also has better numbers.

IMHO, the stock might have been interesting at 4400-4600 level. I think it's not obviously cheap now and would require much more due diligence for investment. Since I am not sure I want to be in Japan macro-wise, I will skip.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention and looking forward for more posts from you.

Disclosure: I have small positions in ASBRF and AITPF.
