TSE:9828 Earnings & Revenue History as at Nov 2025
Net profit margin came in at 6.5%, a modest decline from the prior year’s 6.7%, indicating a slight squeeze on profitability even as overall earnings remained positive.
Recent numbers highlight that Genki’s growth rate slowed to 4.3% this past year. Although this is weaker than the five-year average, it still reflects steady high-quality earnings.
The company’s ability to sustain above-market growth and remain profitable supports optimism among investors who see high-quality earnings persisting even as margins tighten.
Both the uptick in annual revenue and the minor dip in margins create a tension point. Bullish cases bank on continued operational resilience outpacing industry averages, while the slide in net profit margin gives pause for those watching long-term profitability trends.
The main risk called out is the sustainability of Genki’s dividend payments, as recent margin pressure could raise questions about how comfortably future dividends can be funded from ongoing profits.
Critics highlight that while revenues have grown at 11.4% per year and Genki became profitable over five years, the narrowing gap in profit margins and a return to only 4.3% earnings growth could limit the flexibility to maintain or grow dividends.
Bears argue that if profitability comes under strain, management may need to rethink capital allocation priorities and focus more on reinvestment than shareholder payouts.
Even with improving financial health, the company may face tougher scrutiny from income-focused investors until margin recovery or more stable earnings growth is visible.
Genki shares trade at a price-to-earnings ratio of 11.9x, below both industry peers and its own DCF fair value of ¥5,479.15, with the current share price at ¥3,030.
Favorable valuation has emerged as a draw for investors, as shares remain attractively priced alongside above-market growth rates and a track record of profitability.
The substantial discount to industry multiples and DCF fair value provides a significant upside buffer, which supports the case for a constructive investor outlook.
This valuation gap, especially when compared with the quality of earnings and growth, underlines why Genki is viewed positively in current market sentiment, even as some metrics show recent moderation.
