The company's operating margin of 7.93% (calculated from operating income of JPY 47.35 billion on revenue of JPY 597.03 billion) reflects efficient cost management. Gross profit of JPY 143.06 billion on total revenue of JPY 597.03 billion indicates a gross margin of 23.96%. ALSOK's revenue is primarily concentrated in Japan, with no material international exposure disclosed in the financial snapshot. The company operates in a domestic-focused business support services industry, which may limit its exposure to global market fluctuations. The company's revenue growth trajectory is not explicitly provided, but the current fiscal year outlook suggests a stable operating environment. Analysts have assigned a mean price target of JPY 1,393.33, with a median of JPY 1,380.00, indicating a potential upside from the current market price of JPY 1,138.50. The mean recommendation of 2.17 (on a scale of 1 to 5) suggests a generally positive outlook from analysts. ALSOK's risk assessment indicates low liquidity and dilution risks, with no immediate filing-based flags detected. The company's capital structure is conservative, with long-term debt of JPY 94.12 billion and total equity of JPY 383.63 billion, resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.25.
