Is T&D Holdings Still Cheap on Excess Returns?
The Excess Returns model looks at how efficiently T&D Holdings turns its equity base into profits above the return that shareholders require. Here, the business is assumed to generate stable earnings of ¥360.71 per share on a Stable Book Value of ¥3,655.33 per share, which lines up with an Average Return on Equity of 9.87% based on analyst estimates.
What stands out for T&D Holdings is the gap between that profitability and the estimated Cost of Equity of ¥182.62 per share. The model attributes an Excess Return of ¥178.09 per share, indicating that the insurer is projected to earn more on its capital than the return investors are assumed to demand. With the current share price at ¥4,800.00 and the Excess Returns projections putting T&D Holdings' estimated intrinsic value substantially above the current share price, the market price implies a discount to these modeled capital returns.
