Operations: The company generates ¥16.52 billion from its dispensing pharmacies and ¥0.15 billion from business process outsourcing services.

Qol Holdings, a Japanese company, is trading at 75.8% below its estimated fair value, signaling potential undervaluation. The firm's revenue is expected to increase by 13.7% annually, outpacing the broader Japanese market's growth of 4.1%. Additionally, earnings are projected to surge by 29.36% per year.

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: JTOWER Inc. specializes in infrastructure sharing services across Japan, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥44.17 billion.

Insider Ownership: 26%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 47.9% p.a.

JTOWER is poised for notable financial shifts, with expectations of turning profitable within three years and a revenue growth forecast at 19.7% annually, surpassing Japan's market average. Despite this, shareholder dilution occurred over the past year and the company's Return on Equity is projected to remain low at 2%. Additionally, recent strategic adjustments include discontinuing a development project with Foxconn due to delays and shifting focus towards more immediately demanded infra-sharing solutions for 5G technologies.

en-japan

Simply Wall St Growth Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: en-japan inc. operates in providing human resources services both in Japan and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately ¥103.47 billion.

Operations: The company generates revenue primarily from its human resources services, totaling approximately ¥67.66 billion.

Insider Ownership: 14.7%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 16.8% p.a.

en-japan inc. is set to achieve a robust financial performance with expected net sales reaching JPY 73 billion and an operating income of JPY 8.1 billion by March 2025. Despite a consistent dividend payout, the dividend coverage by cash flows remains weak. The company's revenue growth rate at 8% annually outpaces the Japanese market average, yet its earnings growth, while solid at approximately 16.8% annually, does not classify as very high compared to extreme growth benchmarks. Insider trading activity has been neutral recently, indicating no significant insider buying or selling trends that could signal strong internal confidence or concerns.
