UT GroupLtd (TSE:2146)

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: UT Group Co., Ltd. operates in Japan, specializing in the dispatch and outsourcing of permanent employees across various sectors including manufacturing, design and development, and construction, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥119.30 billion.

Operations: UT Group's revenue is derived from its Area Business (¥63.52 billion), Foreign Operation (¥10.91 billion), Solution Business (¥17.89 billion), Engineering Business (¥9.30 billion), and Manufacturing Business excluding Solution Business (¥65.46 billion).

Insider Ownership: 22.8%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 23.9% p.a.

UT Group Ltd., trading at 13% below our estimate of its fair value, is poised for significant growth with earnings expected to increase by 23.94% per year. Despite a high insider ownership, the company's dividend sustainability is questionable as it is not well covered by cash flows. Recent initiatives like the launch of a new career support service through JOBPAL indicate proactive management in enhancing value and service offerings. However, revenue growth projections (14.8% per year) lag behind some market expectations, highlighting potential areas for improvement in scaling operations efficiently.
