Unless this trend reverses, it should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover.Reported Earnings • Feb 18Full year 2025 earnings released: EPS: JP¥41.40 (vs JP¥32.42 in FY 2024)Full year 2025 results: EPS: JP¥41.40 (up from JP¥32.42 in FY 2024). Revenue: JP¥6.05b (up 19% from FY 2024). Net income: JP¥839.0m (up 25% from FY 2024). Profit margin: 14% (in line with FY 2024). Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 20% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 9% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.New Risk • Feb 17New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 5.7% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.분석 기사 • Feb 16With EPS Growth And More, WILLs (TSE:4482) Makes An Interesting CaseThe excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even...공시 • Feb 16WILLs Inc., Annual General Meeting, Mar 27, 2026WILLs Inc., Annual General Meeting, Mar 27, 2026.Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Feb 16Investor sentiment improves as stock rises 16%After last week's 16% share price gain to JP¥827, the stock trades at a trailing P/E ratio of 22x.

The fair value is estimated to be JP¥929, 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.

Market cap: JP¥15.6b (US$99.7m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Upcoming Dividend • Dec 22Upcoming dividend of JP¥6.50 per shareEligible shareholders must have bought the stock before 29 December 2025.

Declared Dividend • Apr 11Final dividend increased to JP¥9.00Dividend of JP¥9.00 is 38% higher than last year. Ex-date: 29th June 2026 Payment date: 16th September 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.1%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.4%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is well covered by both earnings (31% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (37% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 64% per year over the past 4 years and payments have been stable during that time. Earnings per share has grown by 23% over the last 5 years. Unless this trend reverses, it should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover.
Reported Earnings • Feb 18Full year 2025 earnings released: EPS: JP¥41.40 (vs JP¥32.42 in FY 2024)Full year 2025 results: EPS: JP¥41.40 (up from JP¥32.42 in FY 2024). Revenue: JP¥6.05b (up 19% from FY 2024). Net income: JP¥839.0m (up 25% from FY 2024). Profit margin: 14% (in line with FY 2024). Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 20% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 9% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.
New Risk • Feb 17New minor risk - Share price stabilityThe company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Japanese stocks, typically moving 5.7% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jan 14Now 20% undervaluedOver the last 90 days, the stock has risen 2.3% to JP¥743. The fair value is estimated to be JP¥929, 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 17%.
New Risk • Jan 05New minor risk - Market cap sizeThe company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: JP¥15.6b (US$99.7m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
