TISI (TSE:3626) Climbed, So What Is Behind The Latest Attention?

Listen to the news

TISI (TSE:3626) drew investor attention after raising its full year earnings outlook and dividend forecast alongside half year results, tying capital returns directly to current business momentum and order conditions.

Recent trading shows that TISI’s share price has been rebuilding some momentum, with a 1-day share price return of 3.04% and a 90-day share price return of 12.64%. This comes even though the year-to-date share price return has declined 18.08% and the 1-year total shareholder return has fallen 12.18%. At the same time, the 3-year total shareholder return of 51.04% and 5-year total shareholder return of 36.35% point to a much stronger longer run picture behind the latest earnings, guidance and dividend news.

Scan beyond TISI and compare its earnings and dividend momentum with a curated group of IT and fintech peers using the 22 high quality undervalued stocks as a starting universe.

Bulls see TISI’s upgraded outlook and richer dividend as evidence that the recent share price recovery has more room to run. Bears point to the weaker 1 year return and question whether the valuation already reflects the good news.

Preferred P/E of 17.9x for TISI: Is it justified?

TISI closed at ¥4,241 with the shares trading on a P/E of 17.9x, which screens as good value against some benchmarks yet looks expensive against others.

The P/E multiple reflects how much investors are paying today for each unit of current earnings, which is especially watched for mature IT service providers with steady but moderate growth expectations.

On one side, the stock is described as good value based on its P/E of 17.9x compared with an estimated fair P/E of 24.4x and also against a peer average of 22.5x. This gap suggests the market is assigning a lower earnings multiple than those frameworks indicate could be reasonable.

On the other side, the same P/E of 17.9x is described as expensive compared with the broader JP IT industry on 14.9x. This signals investors are still paying a premium versus the sector even though TISI’s most recent year of earnings declined and its forecast earnings and revenue growth are slower than both the IT industry and the wider JP market.

Result: Preferred multiple of 17.9x P/E (ABOUT RIGHT)

Still, the softer 1-year return and slower forecast earnings and revenue trends versus the wider JP IT sector could quickly pressure TISI if sentiment turns.
