    TTM net margin at 2% puts profitability in context

    • Over the last twelve months Kojima Ltd converted ¥295,491 million of revenue into ¥5,923 million of net income, which works out to a 2% net profit margin compared with 1.7% a year earlier.
    • What stands out for a more bullish take is that this 2% margin sits alongside trailing earnings growth of 25.4%, which suggests:
      • The improvement from 1.7% to 2% aligns with the view that Kojima Ltd is keeping more of each yen of sales as profit.
      • At the same time, earnings growth of 25.4% gives bulls a concrete figure to point to when they argue that profitability is moving in the right direction rather than just holding flat.

    Quarterly EPS swings highlight KojimaLtd’s earnings power

    • Across the last six reported quarters, Basic EPS moved between ¥9.51 and ¥30.56 per share, with the latest Q3 2026 figure of ¥30.56 sitting at the top of that range, while net income over that span ranged from ¥735 million to ¥2,369 million.
    • For a more cautious, bearish-style reading, these EPS and profit swings raise questions about consistency, even with the recent strength:
      • Critics highlight that Q1 2026 EPS of ¥10.76 and net income of ¥832 million were well below the Q2 and Q3 2026 levels, which shows earnings can vary meaningfully from quarter to quarter.
      • They may also point to Q4 2025 EPS of ¥9.51 and net income of ¥735 million at the low end of the range as a reminder that the business has not delivered the recent Q3 strength every period, so investors need to watch how repeatable the current level is.

    Mixed valuation signals with 17.3x P/E and DCF gap

    • Kojima Ltd trades on a P/E of 17.3x, which sits below the disclosed peer average of 19.5x but above the JP Specialty Retail industry average of 14x. The current share price of ¥1,321 is also 49.7% below a DCF fair value estimate of ¥2,627.97.
    • Market opinion built around a more optimistic slant uses these valuation markers to frame risk and opportunity side by side:
      • Supporters point to the 17.3x P/E being lower than the 19.5x peer average and the wide gap to the DCF fair value of ¥2,627.97 as evidence that the current price of ¥1,321 does not fully reflect the trailing 25.4% earnings growth.
      • On the other hand, the limited public financial history of under three years means there are fewer data points to confirm how long the current 2% net margin and recent EPS range can be maintained, which is a practical constraint for anyone leaning heavily on these valuation signals.
