EPS Momentum Builds Through FY 2026

• Across FY 2026, basic EPS moved from ¥22.88 in Q1 to ¥38.35 in Q3, and on a trailing twelve month basis reached ¥418.16 by Q4 compared with ¥56.41 a year earlier, alongside trailing net income of ¥3.1b on ¥24.7b of revenue.
• What stands out for a bullish view is how this earnings strength lines up with the longer trend, as trailing earnings growth of 143.3% over the last year sits well above the five year annualized growth of 22.8%, while:
  • Revenue on a trailing basis moved from ¥19,765m in Q4 FY 2025 to ¥24,704m in Q4 FY 2026, so the higher EPS is backed by a larger sales base rather than just a single quarter spike.
  • Trailing net income increased from ¥1,293m in Q4 FY 2025 to ¥3,146m in Q4 FY 2026, which supports arguments that ERI Holdings is translating its business model into higher per share profits over time.

Margins and Profitability Step Change for ERI Holdings

• Net profit margin for ERI Holdings over the last 12 months was 12.7% compared with 6.5% in the prior year period, supported by trailing net income of ¥3,146m on ¥24,704m of revenue.
• Supporters who argue that profitability quality has improved get some backing from the data, as the higher margin sits alongside stronger earnings, while:
  • Quarterly net income for FY 2026 ranged from ¥521.77m in Q1 to ¥1,017m in Q4 on revenues between ¥5,383.96m and ¥7,090m, so profits were not concentrated in a single small quarter but appeared across the year.
  • With EPS in individual quarters of FY 2026 at ¥22.88, ¥33.05 and ¥38.35 where disclosed, the margin uplift addresses concerns that recent profit levels might be detached from the underlying business performance.

Valuation Gap Versus DCF and P/E

• At a share price of ¥1,460, ERI Holdings trades on a trailing P/E of 10.4x versus peer and industry averages of roughly 13x, and that price is below the DCF fair value reference of ¥20,046.49 per share based on the provided model.
• For investors weighing a bearish stance, the combination of lower P/E and the gap to DCF fair value creates a tension, because:
  • The below peer and industry P/E sits alongside trailing earnings growth of 143.3% and a 12.7% net margin, which are typically associated with higher rather than lower multiples.
  • The DCF fair value of ¥20,046.49 compared with the ¥1,460 market price suggests bears are focusing more on concerns like the unstable dividend record than on the recent earnings and margin profile.
