PSA Strategy: Japan Stock Market Quarterly 2024 Q4

This then leads us to...

PSA ERP Software: Reassessing Visional (4194 JT)
We take a fresh look at our expectations for Visional, in light of the company’s decision to place its mid-term annual sales growth outlook at between 15%~20%. Even with more tempered expectations, Visional’s valuations aren’t looking particularly stretched with a FY25 EV/OP of just under 15x based on our estimates. That said, we think the company is more vulnerable to competition with this slower growth outlook. So, the FY24 performance will be crucial in ascertaining its ability to grow the bu...

PSA Enterprise Software / IT Services: Visional (4194 JT) Update
Visional met consensus estimates for its FY23 Q3, putting it nicely on track to meet its own full-year forecasts. The firm even has the potential to beat, especially on sales, explains analyst Lindsay Whipp. With the mid-career recruitment platform’s performance confounding recent market pessimism, Visional’s FY23 EV/S of just 5x isn’t to be sniffed at.

Visional Inc’s shares have had a reality check of late. But if reality for the online recruitment platform for professionals is annual sales growth of >30% YoY and OP growth of >50%, then at current valuations, the stock could reignite long-term investor interest.
