Warnings

⚠ This company has a built-in lending arm whose debt is mixed in with the main business. We capped the debt adjustment to avoid overstating what the core business owes.
ℹ Price-to-book value of 0.6x is below the typical low point. This could be a bargain, but check whether asset write-downs are coming.
ℹ Wall Street's average price target is $34.00 (from 18 analysts). Our estimate is 27% below the consensus -- consider that gap carefully.
ℹ Financial statements were converted from JPY into USD using USDJPY at 0.0064 USD per JPY.

Key Risks

  • Standard 10-year DCF produces unreliable terminal values for cyclicals
  • 'Cheap' P/E at cycle peak is the most common value trap — normalize first
  • Captive finance subsidiaries have different risk profiles from manufacturing
