The company has a track record of regular dividend payments. It has paid dividends in each of the past ten years. Dividend per share (DPS) has grown yearly, and there is an evident trend. In the past 12 months, the dividend yield has been moderate and on par with its peers. On average, the company pays dividends twice a year. 

3160.T reported revenue of JPY 73 876mn in the last 12 months, up 1% from FY24. At the same time, the dynamics of cash flow, as measured by free cash flow (FCF), were drastically different. EPS grew 19% from FY24 to JPY 71.48.

Over the last six months, the stock performance has varied, with an increase following a drop. When measured against its worldwide peers from the same industry (as shown above), the stock has been weaker, underperforming by 9ppts. There is a distinction between the stock's performance and that of its peers from the same country and industry. Over six months its performance trailed that of this peer group by 13ppts and accelerated its growth by 2ppts in the recent month. Given the stock's valuation versus its peers, its total price movement is neither favourable nor unfavourable.

The company has reported weak EBITDA margins compared to its global peers in recent years. EBITDA margin amounted to 1.6% in the last 12 months, up from 1.4% in FY24. 

Historically, 3160.T has reported weak net margins compared to its global peers. Specifically, in the last 12 months, this metric equalled 1.4%, a growth from 1.2% in FY24. 

In the last 12 months, the return on capital employed (RoCE) grew to 8.3%, below the peers. 

Another important profitability metric, return on assets (RoA), amounted to 4.1% in the last 12 months, an increase from 3.7% in FY24. 

Oomitsu Co., Ltd. reported a return on equity (RoE) of 16.3% in the last 12 months, up from 14.5% in FY24. 

The ratio of return on invested capital (RoIC) to the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) has been 2.1 in the past several years. This ratio implies a strong shareholder value creation. 

The institutional, legal, and compliance risks associated with the company's country are minimal. In combination with stringent business standards, shareholder rights are very highly protected.

3160.T has very poor trading liquidity. It will take several trading days for the average private investor to sell a common position under normal market conditions. Liquidity is relatively stable and is somewhat unfavourable on the days with the lowest activity. The trading volume mostly stays the same even under highly turbulent market conditions. The stock has a tiny market capitalisation, which usually makes its trading liquidity erratic and unpredictable. 

No other major risks have been identified.

The risk of default is high. Among the negative credit factors, we point to weak positions in its industry, slow historical revenue growth, bleak profitability, poor working capital management, and weak debt servicing capacity. We note low margin volatility and adequate interest coverage, among the positive credit factors. 

In highly turbulent market conditions, 3160.T is not overly volatile. In other words, the stock will fall less than the index in times of extreme market volatility or shocking company news. Standalone, the worst-day losses (less than 1% of the time) will likely be low. 

In normal market circumstances, 3160.T is not overly volatile. Put differently, without outstanding market volatility or shocking company news, the stock's price will remain relatively stable. The stock's losses on its worst days (less than 1-5% of the time) will range from very low to negligible. 

From both historical and forecast perspectives, the stock is moderately underpriced compared to similar stocks. Specifically, the stock is 'cheap' on P/E, overvalued on EV/EBITD.
