Assessing Metaplanet (TSE:3350) Valuation After Recent Share Price Momentum And DCF Signal

Simply Wall St·01/07/2026 01:35:14
Listen to the news

Metaplanet (TSE:3350) has drawn investor attention recently as its mix of hotel operations, bitcoin treasury activities, and Web3 related businesses trades around ¥510. This has invited fresh questions about how this blend is being valued.

See our latest analysis for Metaplanet.

The recent 1 day share price return of 9% and 7 day gain of 26% cap a 30 day share price return of 30%. However, the 90 day move shows an 11% decline, while the 1 year total shareholder return of 35% sits against a very large 3 year total shareholder return. This suggests momentum has recently picked up again after a sharp earlier rerating.

If Metaplanet has put high growth themes like bitcoin and Web3 on your radar, it could be a good moment to look at high growth tech and AI stocks as well.

With revenue growth near 97%, net income growth around 31% and the share price still well below an analyst target of ¥1,927.5, you have to ask: is Metaplanet undervalued, or is the market already pricing in future growth?

Price-to-Earnings of 28.8x: Is it justified?

Metaplanet's current valuation sits at a P/E of 28.8x, while the last close is ¥510, so the key question is how that earnings multiple stacks up against both peers and a fair reference level.

The P/E ratio compares the share price to earnings per share and is a common way investors gauge how much they are paying for each unit of profit. For a company that has only recently become profitable and is active in areas like hotels, bitcoin and Web3, the market can use a higher multiple to reflect expected earnings growth rather than current earnings alone.

According to Simply Wall St's fair ratio work, 28.8x is described as good value compared to an estimated fair P/E of 48.7x. This suggests the market is pricing Metaplanet at a discount to a level the regression analysis points to as reasonable. However, the same 28.8x P/E is described as expensive against both the peer average of 18.4x and the broader JP Hospitality industry average of 23.8x. This means the market is assigning a premium multiple versus its sector and closer competitors.

Result: Price-to-Earnings of 28.8x (ABOUT RIGHT)

However, there are clear pressure points here, including bitcoin related earnings volatility and the risk that hotel and Web3 businesses do not scale as investors expect.

Another View: What Does The DCF Say?

While the 28.8x P/E suggests Metaplanet might be reasonably priced against its fair ratio, our DCF model points in a very different direction. At a share price of ¥510 versus an estimated fair value of ¥35.86, the DCF output frames the stock as heavily overvalued. Which signal receives more attention?
