Bleach Inc
Bleach Inc maintains a strong liquidity position with ¥8.9 billion in cash and equivalents, representing 67% of total assets, and a current ratio of 4.79, well above the advertising industry median of 2.1. The company's price-to-book ratio of 0.68 indicates undervaluation relative to tangible asset base, while the price-to-earnings ratio of 21.28 suggests moderate growth expectations [doc:HA-latest]. Profitability metrics show return on equity of 3.18% and return on assets of 2.29%, both below the advertising industry medians of 5.8% and 3.4% respectively. The operating margin of 2.54% (¥436M operating income on ¥17.2B revenue) lags behind the sector's 6.2% median, indicating potential pricing pressures or operational inefficiencies [doc:HA-latest]. Geographically, Bleach Inc is 100% concentrated in Japan, with no disclosed international operations. Segment-wise, the company operates as a single integrated marketing business without material revenue diversification across product categories [doc:HA-latest]. Outlook data shows revenue growth of 4.2% year-over-year to ¥17.16 billion, with operating income expanding 12.7% to ¥436 million. The company's capital expenditure of -¥145 million (negative due to accounting treatment) suggests asset optimization rather than expansion [doc:HA-latest]. Risk assessment indicates low liquidity and dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based flags detected. The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.19 reflects a conservative capital structure, and no dilution sources were identified in recent filings [doc:HA-latest].
