Asagami Corp

Asagami Corp maintains a liquidity position with a current ratio of 1.41 and a price-to-book ratio of 0.54, indicating a moderate level of asset coverage relative to equity. The company's cash and equivalents amount to 7,084,076,000 JPY, but its long-term debt of 10,410,651,000 JPY suggests a net cash negative position after subtracting total debt. The debt-to-equity ratio of 0.49 reflects a balanced capital structure, with liabilities accounting for 49% of equity. Profitability metrics show a return on equity (ROE) of 5.54% and a return on assets (ROA) of 2.65%, both below the industry median for Ground Freight & Logistics. The operating margin of 4.28% (1,667,118,000 JPY / 38,943,782,000 JPY) is also below the industry median, indicating room for improvement in cost control and pricing power. The company's revenue is diversified across four segments: Logistics (65%), Real Estate (20%), Printing (10%), and Others (5%). The Logistics segment is the primary revenue driver, with a concentration that could expose the company to sector-specific risks. Geographically, the company is entirely focused on the Japanese market, with no disclosed international operations. Looking ahead, the company is projected to see a 3.5% increase in revenue in the current fiscal year and a 2.1% increase in the next fiscal year. This growth is modest compared to the industry median of 5.0% and may be constrained by the company's limited international exposure and reliance on domestic logistics demand. The risk assessment highlights a medium liquidity risk due to the net cash negative position and a low dilution risk, with no significant dilution sources identified in the 10-K or recent filings. The company's capital structure is stable, with no near-term pressure for equity issuance. Recent events include the filing of the 2023 annual report, which disclosed the company's financial performance and strategic priorities. No material changes in management or significant legal proceedings were reported in the latest filings.
