• The net profit margin increased from 4.2% to 4.3%, pointing to stronger earnings capability even as input and labor costs have challenged many in the Japanese café sector.

• What’s surprising is that, while sector-wide inflation is putting the squeeze on operators’ profitability, the company has managed to nudge its margins upward:

  • Rising costs that are hurting industry peers have not stalled this incremental improvement.

  • Consistent margin expansion heavily supports bullish claims of disciplined cost management and durability.

• Earnings are forecast to grow by 9.8% per year, and revenue by 5.1% per year. Both are well above Japan’s broad market averages of 4.4% revenue growth.

• The prevailing market view leans optimistic, but what stands out is that company guidance outclasses the average industry growth trajectory:

  • Forecasts for the next year give the company a clear edge over similar Japanese hospitality and food-service players.

  • This kind of outlook creates headroom for DOUTOR NICHIRES to outperform both domestically and relative to its past five-year average.

• With a Price-to-Earnings ratio of 15.7x, which is well below the peer average of 40.5x and industry average of 24x, and a DCF fair value of 3315.08, the current share price of 2464.00 suggests notable upside potential on fundamental and model-driven bases.

• The prevailing market view highlights that DOUTOR NICHIRES trades at a discount just as its performance metrics are trending positively:

  • Investors are offered a rare mix of above-market growth and undervaluation, a combination not always seen for sector leaders.
