Kurogane Kosakusho Ltd

Kurogane Kosakusho Ltd maintains a liquidity position that is medium in risk, with a current ratio of 1.67 and a cash and equivalents balance of 752.45 million JPY. The company's price-to-book ratio is 0.36, indicating that the market value is significantly below the book value. The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.24 suggests a relatively conservative capital structure, with long-term debt amounting to 1,120.44 million JPY.

The company's profitability metrics are below the industry median, with a return on equity of 2.02% and a return on assets of 1.06%. The operating income of 111.19 million JPY and net income of 94.22 million JPY reflect a narrow margin, which is further constrained by a gross profit of 522.79 million JPY on total revenue of 2,278.47 million JPY. The company's operating cash flow is negative at -578.27 million JPY, indicating a cash outflow from operations.

Kurogane Kosakusho Ltd's revenue is not segmented by geographic region or product line in the available data, but the company's total revenue of 2,278.47 million JPY suggests a concentration in its core industrial services. The absence of disclosed geographic or segment breakdowns limits the ability to assess diversification risk.

The company's growth trajectory is constrained, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 17.72 and an enterprise value-to-revenue ratio of 0.89. The capital expenditure of -174.20 million JPY indicates a reduction in investment in physical assets, which may signal a strategic shift or financial constraint. The analyst estimates for revenue and EPS are significantly higher than the reported figures, suggesting potential for improvement in the near term.

The risk assessment highlights a key flag: net cash is negative after subtracting total debt, which could impact the company's ability to meet short-term obligations. The dilution risk is assessed as low, with no significant dilution potential identified in the basic shares outstanding. The company's liquidity risk is moderate, with a current ratio of 1.67, but the negative operating cash flow raises concerns about its ability to generate internal cash.

Recent events and filings do not provide specific details on strategic initiatives or operational changes. The company's financial performance and risk profile suggest a need for close monitoring of its liquidity and profitability metrics.

Operating margin of 4.9% exceeds the 4.5% median for the Business Support Supplies cohort of 69 companies.

Net margin of 4.1% outperforms the 3.7% median within the Business Support Supplies peer group.

Debt-to-equity ratio of 0.24 is slightly below the 0.22 cohort median, indicating conservative leverage.

Free cash flow surged 481.9% year-over-year to JPY 448 million in fiscal 2026.

Dilution risk is assessed as low, suggesting limited threat to existing shareholder equity value.

Revenue declined 12.0% year-over-year to JPY 6.3 billion in fiscal 2026, signaling shrinking top line.

Cash conversion ratio of -6.14 places the company in the bottom quartile of its 67-firm cohort.

Liquidity and credit risks are both rated as medium, highlighting potential financial stability concerns.
