Below we spotlight a couple of our favorites from our exclusive screener.

Nippon Electric Glass

Overview: Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd. is a global manufacturer and seller of specialty glass products and glass-making machinery, operating primarily in Japan, China, South Korea, the United States, and Europe, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥316.04 billion.

Operations: The company generates its revenue from the manufacture and sale of specialty glass products and glass-making machinery across key regions including Japan, China, South Korea, the United States, and Europe.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 35.2%

Nippon Electric Glass, priced at ¥3650, trades significantly below our fair value estimate of ¥5633.89, highlighting its undervalued status based on cash flows. Despite a dividend yield of 3.56%, coverage by earnings and free cash flows is weak, suggesting potential sustainability issues. The company's recent development of the GC CoreTM substrate could enhance semiconductor performance and reduce production costs, potentially boosting future profitability which is expected to grow robustly over the next three years. However, its forecasted revenue growth at 5.4% annually lags behind more aggressive market averages.

Insource

Overview: Insource Co., Ltd., operating in Japan, offers a range of services including lecturer dispatch training and open lectures, with a market capitalization of ¥70.10 billion.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily through its services related to lecturer dispatch training and open lectures.

Estimated Discount To Fair Value: 41.9%

Insource, priced at ¥836, is undervalued based on DCF with a fair value of ¥1438.29. The company's earnings are forecast to grow by 17.98% annually, outpacing the Japanese market average. Despite this growth potential and a high projected ROE of 36.5%, its dividend track record remains unstable and the share price has been highly volatile recently. Additionally, Insource's recent expansion into three new locations could bolster client services and support continued revenue growth, which is expected to exceed the market average at 15.3% annually.

The company's earnings are expected to grow by 20.23% annually, surpassing the Japanese market forecast of 9%. Despite its high volatility in share price, Mimaki has shown strong past earnings growth of 32.1% last year and anticipates revenue growth at 8.5% per year—double the market's rate. Recent corporate guidance projects robust financials for FY2025 with substantial increases in net sales and profits, alongside consistent dividends.
