Chugai Mining maintains a conservative capital structure with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.4 and a current ratio of 2.21, indicating strong short-term liquidity coverage. The balance sheet shows total assets of 17.57 billion JPY against total liabilities of 8.20 billion JPY, with cash and equivalents standing at 6.30 billion JPY. Long-term debt is limited to 3.70 billion JPY, resulting in a net cash position that supports operational flexibility without immediate refinancing pressure.
Profitability metrics reveal a return on equity of 16.16% and a return on assets of 8.62%, suggesting efficient capital deployment relative to the asset base. The company generated a net income of 1.51 billion JPY on revenue of 281.69 billion JPY, yielding a net margin of approximately 0.54%. Operating income of 2.44 billion JPY indicates modest operating leverage, while the gross profit of 5.08 billion JPY reflects the typical low-margin nature of commodity trading or processing activities within the metals sector.
- Strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 2.21 and net cash of 2.60 billion JPY (cash 6.30B minus long-term debt 3.70B).
- Efficient capital returns with ROE of 16.16% and ROA of 8.62% despite low net margins.
- Low valuation multiples with P/E of 7.03 and EV/EBITDA of 3.30, suggesting potential undervaluation relative to earnings power.
- No dilution risk as basic and diluted share counts are identical at 14.37 million shares.
- Revenue scale of 281.69 billion JPY provides a large base, though margin compression is evident with gross profit of only 5.08 billion JPY.
