AI Briefing
Yorozu: Tier-1 chassis/body/engine parts maker with 20 subsidiaries across Japan, Americas and Asia, serving major global OEMs. FY26/3 revenue ¥176B, OP ¥4.0B (2.3% margin), a recovery from FY25/3's thin 0.2% margin but still below FY24/3's ¥4.5B peak. Market cap ¥17.8B vs equity ¥54.7B signals deep discount to book; EV/EBITDA on ¥10.6B LTM EBITDA looks cheap, though thin OEM margins and ¥39.3B debt load temper the re-rating case.
