NODA CORPORATION [7879.T]
TOKYO, Feb 02 (Pulse News Wire) – Noda Corporation (7879.T) outlined its strategy to enhance corporate value amid an uncertain environment characterized by structural declines in the housing market and volatile raw material prices. The company identified improving profitability and capital efficiency as top priorities, aiming to achieve a return on equity (ROE) of more than 5% by 2030 and over 8% by 2035.
In the near term, Noda plans to focus on stabilizing revenue through structural changes rather than solely pursuing sales growth. This includes enhancing inventory management and setting appropriate selling prices for plywood products while expanding into non-residential markets and developing high-value-added products for wood-based materials. For the long-term growth phase beginning around 2030, Noda aims to balance revenue expansion with improved capital efficiency.
The company also emphasized maintaining stable dividend payouts based on overall financial health and profit improvement. Noda's approach reflects a recognition that sustained corporate value depends on consistently outperforming the cost of capital over time, which currently stands at 3 to 5%. The firm’s recent performance shows a declining price-to-book ratio and negative ROE due to factors such as rising construction costs and reduced housing demand.
