Strike CompanyLimited

Overview: Strike Company Limited (TSE: 6196) operates as a brokerage for mergers and acquisitions of small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥90.64 billion.

Operations: The firm specializes in providing brokerage services for mergers and acquisitions targeting small to medium-sized enterprises across Japan.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 14.3%

Strike CompanyLimited, with a current trading price of ¥4720 against a DCF-estimated fair value of ¥5508.22, appears modestly undervalued. The firm's recent upward revision in earnings guidance underscores robust operational momentum, projecting significant hikes in net sales and profits for the first half of FY2024. Earnings are expected to grow by 17.58% annually, outpacing the Japanese market average. However, its share price has shown high volatility recently, adding a layer of risk despite strong financial forecasts and performance indicators.

KATITAS

Overview: KATITAS CO., Ltd. operates in Japan, engaging in the surveying, purchasing, refurbishing, remodeling, and selling of used homes to individuals and families with a market cap of approximately ¥136.45 billion.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily through its House for Resale Reproduction Business, which amounted to ¥126.72 billion.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 33.2%

KATITAS CO., Ltd. is trading at ¥1750, significantly below the estimated fair value of ¥2619.96, indicating potential undervaluation based on cash flows. While its revenue growth (7.1% per year) and earnings growth (9.3% per year) are projected to outpace the Japanese market averages, concerns remain due to its unstable dividend track record and recent corporate actions including a resolution for treasury stock disposal as restricted compensation and an ongoing legal appeal. This mixed financial landscape suggests cautious optimism for investors looking at cash flow metrics for valuation.
