Is Shizuoka Financial GroupInc Still Cheap on Excess Returns?
The Excess Returns model looks at what Shizuoka Financial GroupInc earns above its own cost of equity and then puts a value on that surplus. For this bank, the inputs suggest that each share is supported by book value of ¥2,408.96 and a stable earnings profile of ¥267.41 per share, both drawn from analyst estimates rather than short term swings. Those projected profits sit against a ¥151.35 per share cost of equity, which leaves an excess return of ¥116.06 per share in the model.
Because the framework assumes an average return on equity of 10.58% and a stable book value drifting toward ¥2,527.67 per share, it effectively treats Shizuoka Financial GroupInc as a lender that can keep reinvesting capital at a modest spread over its required return. The same dataset feeds a dividend discount view that builds in current dividends of ¥125.73 per share and a capped long run growth rate of 0.94%, which points to an income stream that grows but not aggressively. Taken together, those inputs lead the Excess Returns model to an estimated intrinsic value that the article states is substantially above the current ¥2,924.50 share price.
