Let's review some notable picks from our screened stocks.

Saint Marc Holdings

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Saint Marc Holdings Co., Ltd. operates a chain of restaurants and cafes primarily in Japan, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥42.91 billion.

Operations: The company primarily operates in the restaurant and cafe sector.

Insider Ownership: 26.9%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 27.1% p.a.

Saint Marc Holdings, a growth company in Japan with high insider ownership, shows a mixed financial landscape. While the company's earnings are forecasted to grow at 27.1% annually, outpacing the Japanese market average of 8.5%, its revenue growth is more modest at 4% per year, slightly above the market's 3.9%. However, its dividend coverage is weak as earnings do not sufficiently cover a 2.38% dividend yield. Additionally, recent financial results have been affected by large one-off items, clouding true earnings quality.

Operations: The company generates revenue from its operations in e-commerce, fintech, digital content, and communications.

Insider Ownership: 17.3%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 87.6% p.a.

Rakuten Group is poised for notable growth with earnings expected to surge by 87.58% annually, significantly outpacing typical market performance. Despite a recent $1.99 billion bond issuance and robust corporate guidance predicting double-digit growth in 2024, challenges remain such as shareholder dilution over the past year and a low forecasted return on equity of 8.8%. Additionally, revenue growth projections of 7.4% per year, though above the Japanese market average, fall short of more aggressive benchmarks.
