PSA Recruit Holdings (6098 JP) – Unappealing Valuations

Assuming no M&As, we expect Recruit’s revenue to expand at single-digit rates and profitability to improve marginally over the FY18~FY20 period. With only one growth driver – the HR Technology segment, we find Recruit’s current valuations unappealing.
