beluuga.ai pulls primary data straight from regulatory filings and timely disclosures, calendarizes it, and hands you a 95%-finished company profile, annotated stock chart, comps set, WACC, and DCF model — the 3am Excel grind is on us. The last 5%, the judgment that actually moves the deal, is still your call.~4,000 listed Japanese companies.

Regulatory filings are public. Whether they're usable is another question. XBRL tags drift across companies. Account definitions break across fiscal years. beluuga.ai's real work is the unglamorous part: turning public filings into data that holds up under M&A scrutiny. • Normalizing XBRL tag variations across ~4,000 issuers (IFRS, US-GAAP, J-GAAP) • Continuous Vision-based audits of primary filings against our database
M&A since 1998. Morgan Stanley (Tokyo and New York), then a boutique advisory and a PE practice in Tokyo. beluuga.ai is built on the workflows that survived. The comps adjustments, the WACC builds, the DCF conventions that hold up across cycles — they're not features. They're scar tissue.
No analyst salaries. No terminal fees. No vendor lock-in. Start from $300/mo, month-to-month, with deal-by-deal add-ons only when execution demands it.
Transparent pricing. Register and deploy the same day. No opaque quotes, no implementation timelines, no negotiation. It just works.

Honestly? AI alone wasn't enough. "If we just had the public filings, we'd be done." We thought that too. Then we tried it. XBRL tags drift across companies. Account definitions break across fiscal years. Consolidated and parent-only are harder to disambiguate than they should be. There's a deep gap between "publicly available" and "usable for analysis." beluuga.ai's real value isn't the novelty of AI. It's the unglamorous work of bridging that gap, one piece at a time — translating 20 years of "this number looks off" instincts into code, line by line.
Traditional data services run on armies of analysts manually processing filings. beluuga.ai replaces that with software pulling primary data directly from regulatory sources and processing it automatically, around the clock.
Across ~4,000 issuers, account names rename, accounting policies shift, segment hierarchies move, one-off items are case-by-case. The patient work of normalizing all of it — that's where the actual leverage lives. Not in any single piece of AI magic.
Delivering high-quality data doesn't take dozens of analysts. It takes the right primary sources, the patient work to make them usable, and 20 years of "this number looks off" instinct. AI is the execution engine for all three.

The following is a sample based on a fictional company. In production, summaries are generated from real-time data of listed Japanese companies.
Seiwa Electronic Industries' core strength lies in its commanding 22% global market share in automotive MLCCs (multilayer ceramic capacitors). The accelerating shift to EVs has tripled per-vehicle capacitor content, and the company's proprietary ultra-fine layering technology constitutes a formidable barrier to entry that competitors cannot easily replicate. Furthermore, its three-site manufacturing footprint spanning North America and Southeast Asia enables both geopolitical risk diversification and proximity-based supply to key OEM customers.
The primary appeal for a potential acquirer is the opportunity to acquire a ¥284B revenue electronic components business at a market capitalization of approximately ¥320B (EV of approximately ¥410B). Automotive MLCC demand is projected to grow at a 12% CAGR through 2030, and the current EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.2x represents an attractive valuation relative to sector peers.
Potential M&A strategies include: (1) horizontal integration of passive component manufacturers beyond automotive MLCCs, (2) acquisition of local manufacturers in Southeast Asia and India to secure production bases, and (3) investment in startups with autonomous driving sensor technology.
For FY2025/3, revenue increased 3.2% YoY to ¥284B, while operating profit rose 5.1% to ¥39.8B. The operating margin of 14.0% continues to outperform the industry average. EBITDA stands at approximately ¥57B with net debt of approximately ¥90B, resulting in a healthy net D/E ratio of 0.4x.
The current share price of ¥2,180 sits at the midpoint of the 52-week range of ¥1,850–¥2,420. The trailing PER of 18.4x is modestly above the electronic components sector median of 16.9x.
The founding family remains the largest shareholder with 18.3% of voting rights, contributing to management stability. Institutional investors hold 42% of shares outstanding, of which overseas institutions account for approximately 15%.
