EPS is expected to grow by 4.0% over the next 3 years, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover.공시 • Nov 26JEOL Ltd.

Our...New Risk • Nov 14New major risk - Financial positionThe company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 7.2% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.2% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.4% net profit margin).Reported Earnings • Nov 09First half 2025 earnings: EPS exceeds analyst expectationsFirst half 2025 results: EPS: JP¥143 (down from JP¥203 in 1H 2024).

Earnings per share (EPS) surpassed analyst estimates by 35%. Revenue is forecast to grow 1.5% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 2.7% growth forecast for the Metals and Mining industry in Japan. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 19% per year but the company’s share price has increased by 41% per year, which means it is tracking significantly ahead of earnings growth.New Risk • Nov 09New minor risk - Profit margin trendThe company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 3.4% Last year net profit margin: 4.9% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (51% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.4% net profit margin).분석 기사 • Nov 04Investors Don't See Light At End Of Kobe Steel, Ltd.'s (TSE:5406) TunnelKobe Steel, Ltd.'s ( TSE:5406 ) price-to-earnings (or "P/E") ratio of 6x might make it look like a strong buy right now...공시 • Oct 07Kobe Steel, Ltd. to Report Q2, 2025 Results on Nov 07, 2024Kobe Steel, Ltd. announced that they will report Q2, 2025 results at 3:30 PM, Tokyo Standard Time on Nov 07, 2024Upcoming Dividend • Sep 20Upcoming dividend of JP¥45.00 per shareEligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 27 September 2024.

It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 6.0% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.02% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (48% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.0% average weekly change).Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Aug 05Investor sentiment deteriorates as stock falls 21%After last week's 21% share price decline to JP¥1,477, the stock trades at a forward P/E ratio of 5x.

The fair value is estimated to be JP¥2,273, however this is not to be taken as a buy recommendation but rather should be used as a guide only. Revenue has grown by 14% over the last 3 years. Earnings per share has grown by 30%. For the next 3 years, revenue is forecast to grow by 1.6% per annum. Earnings are forecast to decline by 0.02% per annum over the same time period.New Risk • Jul 19New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.02% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.02% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (48% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past.분석 기사 • Jul 17Benign Growth For Kobe Steel, Ltd.

The dividend has increased by an average of 8.4% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to decline by 2.0% over the next 3 years.

The dividend has increased by an average of 8.4% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. EPS is expected to grow by 4.0% over the next 3 years, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover.

New Risk • Nov 14New major risk - Financial positionThe company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 7.2% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.2% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.4% net profit margin).

New Risk • Nov 09New minor risk - Profit margin trendThe company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 3.4% Last year net profit margin: 4.9% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (51% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.4% net profit margin).

It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.02% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (48% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.0% average weekly change).
