Industrial Machinery - Precision Machine Tools & CNC Machining Systems
Strategic Profile
Over the last 12 months, DMG Mori generated ¥514.9 billion of revenue with net income of ¥6.8 billion, but faces significant profitability challenges. The company's 1.3% net profit margin declined from 3.8% a year earlier, indicating margin compression despite stable revenue. The shares trade on a trailing P/E of 66.3x compared with 14.5x for the broader JP Machinery industry, suggesting premium valuation not yet justified by earnings recovery.
Cyborg Score Rationale
Basic EPS fell from 153.31 yen at Q4 FY 2024 to 48.16 yen at Q4 FY 2025, while net income declined from ¥21.1b to ¥6.8b over the same period. The severe margin compression and high valuation multiple create near-term headwinds despite the company's strong market position in precision machine tools.
