Author argues Sanrio is a rare value opportunity at 25x trailing PE given its capital-light licensing model and growth.

8136.T — LONG The author argues Sanrio trades at a rare 25x trailing PE, the lowest multiple in over 10 years, despite being a capital-light business where 55% of revenues come from character licensing and Hello Kitty is only 40% of character revenue, making it more diversified than ever. The company compounded revenues over 30% for four years with 40% operating margins and 37% ROE, which the author says justifies a high multiple, aided by a Japanese bull market and positive global sentiment toward Japan.
