Why the market may be pricing it low

• Heavy reliance on the automotive sector, especially the Toyota group, makes earnings hostage to a single customer's capex cycle.

  自動車関連産業のなかでも特にトヨタ自動車グループへの依存度が高く、その重要性は高いものとなっておりますRisk factors

• The company itself admits ROE has been on a declining trend as equity grew faster than profitability, fitting a cash-hoarding image.

What could close the gap

• The mid-term plan targets stable ROE above 10% and an early return to PBR above 1, which could prompt a re-rating if achieved.

  資本コストを上回るＲＯＥ10％以上を安定的に創出し、企業価値の向上を図り、ＰＢＲ１倍超の早期実現につなげますManagement policy

• Management states it will consider share buybacks based on investment plans and capital conditions, and actual execution would signal stronger shareholder returns.

  自己株式の取得は、中長期的な投資計画、市場環境および資本の状況などを総合的に勘案し、検討してまいりますManagement policy

• The precision coating equipment business for semiconductors is positioned as a growth driver tied to AI/data-center demand, which could shift perceptions away from pure auto dependence.

How a buyer could still lose (value trap)

• The plan for FY2026 calls for a profit decline due to slowing EV/battery capex, China investment restraint, and delayed semiconductor investment, risking disappointment for growth-based buyers.

• Inventory rose sharply while order backlog fell year over year, raising the risk of margin deterioration if the buildup is not absorbed.
