"Bourbon (TYO 2208) makes delicious chocolate covered biscuits that are pretty ubiquitous in Japan. Big net cash position.

Mcap: $420m

NCAV Adjusted Mcap: $330m

P/E: 12.2

P/B: 1

Flat Revenues but ~10% net income CAGR 10 years.

No buybacks though like 2201. Low dividend though.


If we adjust mcap for their securities/investments too, our adjusted market cap gets down to $283m usd.


I got a small position here only because I think a name like this could just do an MBO and go private. Entire top 10 shareholder register is family members + 1 bank."
