A find tonight

The business including its debt costs 3.93 times the operating profit it filed, holds cash worth 130 percent of its market value, and earns 24.6 percent on the capital it has invested.

What stands out

  • Returns: earns 24.6 percent on the capital it has invested, which is better than 92 percent of the companies we rank in Tokyo Stock Exchange.
  • Safety: scores 8 of Piotroski's nine tests on its last filings, which is better than 89 percent of the companies we rank in Tokyo Stock Exchange.
  • Price: the business including its debt costs 3.93 times the operating profit it filed, which is better than 98 percent of the companies we rank in Tokyo Stock Exchange.

What could make it a trap

  • None of the tests we hold fired against it: we checked Altman's Z, the five-year net margin trend, share count, Beneish's M, interest cover, debt to equity and the last year of price. That is the absence of a flag we look for and not a clean bill of health.
