PSA Healthcare Technology / Medtech: JMDC (4483 JT) – Could Valuations Take a Back Seat in the Current Market?

JMDC shares have rallied +56% since 7 April pushing EV/OP above 20x. However, shares are still half of what they were vs the 2021 peak. With the company in good shape to improve margins over the next three years thanks to an improving sales mix and balance of clients, and the IT Service sector being back in vogue in the Japanese market, we think it is possible that valuations might take a back seat.
