6365.T DMW Corporation. Japanese microcap. Almost a net net (counting in receivables).

I also found a good way to gather information on Japanese stocks - using the Japanese moneycentral. If you copy the below link into the Google Chrome browser and allow auto-translate, it will come up with company info and financials going back 10 years:
jp.moneycentral.msn.com

In the case of DWS - this outfit trades at roughly 1/2 tangible book and less than 8x trailing earnings. FWD earnings are however much lower, estimates are for 70Yen/share, which would be a PE of 21. Revenues are projected to be down by 15%. It may come out a bit better because my experience is that Japanese 1 year forecasts are very conservative the 5 year forecasts tend to be aggressive.

DMW' business is pumps - large pumps. The clownbuck logic behind the buy is : Tsunami--> lot's of water= need pumps
(Again use Google Chrome and "autotranslate" for legit results:)

This is truly a microcap with only 85M$ in market cap. My bet is that the business will recover (it's mostly late cycle stuff) because the producs they build is needed; Pumps for oil and gas industry, water & sewer systems, utilities and the like.

My guess is that there is only a handful of competitors building such huge blowers and pumps in the world. DMW, despite being small does seem to do a decent amount of export business based on the client list:

Clownbuck, are you familiar with any of these net-nets in Japan?

Can you name some more net-nets there? I just found about this investment concept and find it fascinating. You seem really knowledgeable about small cap Japanese stocks. TIA
