Ueki Corp

Ueki Corp maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 1.91 and cash and equivalents of ¥6.59 billion, indicating sufficient short-term assets to cover liabilities. The company's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.13 suggests a conservative capital structure, with long-term debt at ¥3.86 billion and total equity at ¥28.99 billion. Free cash flow of ¥1.04 billion and operating cash flow of ¥2.65 billion further support its liquidity profile. Profitability metrics show a return on equity of 6.67% and return on assets of 3.8%, which are below the industry median for Construction & Engineering firms. The operating margin of 5.33% (¥2.7 billion operating income on ¥50.7 billion revenue) is also below the sector average, indicating potential inefficiencies in cost control or pricing power. The company's revenue is distributed across three segments: Construction, Real Estate, and Construction Material Manufacture and Sale. The Construction segment is the largest contributor, though the Real Estate segment's exposure to land development and leasing introduces geographic and cyclical risk. No specific revenue concentration by geography is disclosed, but the company's operations are primarily in Japan. Growth trajectory is modest, with no significant revenue acceleration reported in the latest period. The company's capital expenditure of -¥1.11 billion (negative due to net cash inflow from investing activities) suggests a focus on asset optimization rather than expansion. Analysts have recorded the last actual revenue at ¥50.7 billion, with no forward-looking guidance provided. Risk factors include low liquidity and dilution risk, with no immediate filing-based flags detected. The company's low debt load and strong cash position mitigate credit risk, but its exposure to construction and real estate cycles could affect future earnings. No dilution pressure is expected in the near term, with shares outstanding unchanged between basic and diluted measures. Recent events include the latest financial filing, which disclosed the company's operating cash flow and capital expenditure. No material events or regulatory actions were reported in the latest 10-K or earnings call transcripts. The company's diversification into nursing homes and golf courses may provide some insulation from construction sector volatility.
