Toho Chemical Industry Co Ltd

Toho Chemical Industry Co Ltd has a market price of 754 JPY per share, with a market capitalization of 15.86 billion JPY. The company's price-to-earnings ratio is 10.27, and its price-to-book ratio is 0.76, indicating a relatively low valuation compared to book value. The enterprise value to EBITDA ratio is 21.86, and the enterprise value to revenue ratio is 0.72, suggesting a moderate valuation relative to earnings and revenue. The company's profitability metrics show a return on equity of 7.36% and a return on assets of 2.28%. These figures are below the typical thresholds for high-performing specialty chemical firms, indicating that the company is generating modest returns relative to its equity and asset base. The operating margin is 3.3%, and the net profit margin is 2.9%, both of which are in line with the industry's median performance. Toho Chemical Industry Co Ltd operates through four business segments: Surfactant, Resin, Chemicals, and Specialty Chemicals. The Surfactant segment is the largest contributor to revenue, followed by the Resin segment. The company's geographic exposure is primarily concentrated in Japan, with limited international operations. This concentration increases the company's vulnerability to domestic economic conditions and regulatory changes. The company's growth trajectory is modest, with a current fiscal year outlook indicating a slight increase in revenue. The next fiscal year is expected to show a similar trend, with a projected revenue growth of less than 5%. The company's capital expenditure is negative, indicating a reduction in investment in new projects or facilities, which may affect long-term growth potential. The company's risk assessment indicates a medium liquidity risk and a low dilution risk. The key financial flag is the negative net cash position after subtracting total debt, which suggests potential liquidity constraints. The debt-to-equity ratio is 1.36, indicating a relatively high level of leverage. The current ratio of 1.55 suggests the company has sufficient short-term assets to cover its short-term liabilities, but the leverage remains a concern. Recent events and filings indicate that the company has maintained a stable financial position, with no significant changes in its business operations or strategic direction. The company's latest earnings and revenue figures align with analyst estimates, suggesting that the company is meeting market expectations. There are no recent transcripts or filings indicating major operational or financial disruptions.
