Honda Motor stock has delivered a strong 5 year gain, yet current valuation checks suggest the market price still sits below what its cash flows and earnings multiples imply. Both the intrinsic value estimate based on Discounted Cash Flow and the market based ratios point in the same direction, which is unusual for a large, widely followed automaker. Over the past 5 years, Honda Motor has returned about 75.4%, which means long term holders have already seen substantial value created even...

SoftBank Group stock has delivered a very strong run over the past five years, while the valuation checks send a mixed message, with the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value pointing to a premium and market multiples screening more supportive. SoftBank Group has returned about 3.3x over the past 5 years, which puts extra focus on whether recent gains already reflect the key assets and risks. Fresh headlines around SB Energy’s planned US$5b to US$7b IPO and SoftBank’s refinancing of the...

Miraial stock has climbed over the past month, yet today’s post earnings story is less about the share price drift and more about what the latest semiconductor cycle is doing to profitability.

That squeeze lands on top of a five year earnings decline, and it meets a valuation where the P/E is below peers but well above a discounted cash flow estimate of ¥493.1. Short...

This suggests that momentum has improved in the...
