Fujio Food Group (TSE:2752)

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Fujio Food Group Inc. operates a chain of restaurants both in Japan and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥65.75 billion.

Operations: The company generates its revenue from operating a diverse portfolio of restaurants across domestic and international locations.

Insider Ownership: 29.6%

Fujio Food Group, a company with significant insider ownership, is poised for notable changes. Although its revenue growth at 5.9% per year is modestly above the Japanese market average of 4%, this pace does not reach the high-growth threshold of 20% annually. However, the firm is expected to transition into profitability within three years, with earnings potentially increasing by an impressive 84.63% per year during this period. This forecasted shift towards profitability could signal a positive trajectory for Fujio Food Group amidst a competitive landscape.

Insider Ownership: 23.5%

However, its dividend sustainability is questionable as it is not well covered by cash flows.
