Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. (FRCOY) — VMCI valuation read
Headline read on FRCOY: VMCI of 60/100 versus a Consumer Cyclical sector median of 50. The 10-point above-median position is what makes Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. a relative-value candidate in the mid-cap cohort, before any pillar-level review.
Form 4 filings on FRCOY: zero in the trailing 30 days. The absence of insider transactions is itself a data point, just a low-information one. The thesis runs on financials and price action until that changes.
**Investor frame.** Three reads on FRCOY: value (FRCOY trades at 15.0x earnings, 17% below the Consumer Cyclical median of 18.0x), quality (ROIC of 11.0% sits 1.0pp above the Consumer Cyclical median (10.0%)), and risk (net debt to EBITDA of -0.7x leaves covenant headroom). The value read also implies an EV/EBITDA gap of +4.0x against the Consumer Cyclical 12.0x baseline.
FRCOY rose 2.1% over the trailing 7 days, with a -10.7% read on a 30-day basis.
