Is Ichigo Still Cheap on Cash Flow?
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model here looks at what Ichigo might generate in cash over time and then adjusts those figures back to today. Ichigo most recently reported free cash flow of ¥43,273.05 million in the last twelve months. This means the valuation work starts from a weak cash year and uses that as the base case for the analysis.
Analyst projections in the DCF framework point to recovering free cash flow over the coming decade, with estimates extending out to 2031 in ¥ terms. Based on those cash flow assumptions, the DCF output suggests an intrinsic value that is substantially above the current ¥425.00 share price. This highlights how much confidence you would need in that recovery path for the stock to appear attractively priced.
