Overview: Nojima Corporation operates digital home electronics retail stores both in Japan and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥218.06 billion.

Operations: Nojima Corporation generates revenue primarily from the operation of mobile carrier stores, contributing ¥355.45 billion, and digital consumer electronics specialty shop operations, adding ¥282.52 billion. The overseas segment and internet business also contribute significantly with ¥77.95 billion and ¥67.77 billion respectively to the overall revenue stream.

Nojima, a smaller player in the retail industry, seems to be an intriguing prospect with its recent performance. The company reported a 26.5% earnings growth last year, outpacing the Specialty Retail sector's 8.2%. Its debt-to-equity ratio has significantly improved from 75.3% to 34.2% over five years, indicating prudent financial management. Trading at nearly half its estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation in the market's eyes.
