M3: Revenue and OP Beat Consensus but Don’t Rush to Make an Entry
- M3 Inc (2413 JP) reported 1QFY03/2023 results yesterday. Revenue grew 22.8% YoY to JPY57.0bn (vs consensus JPY50.8bn) while OP decreased 24.2% YoY to JPY19.0bn (vs consensus JPY16.3bn).
- The decline in OP was due to decrease in profit from overseas business where 1QFY03/2022 benefited from the Medlive IPO.
- Though m3’s earnings have beaten consensus and the company’s core Medical Platform has seen some recovery in earnings, we would not be rushing to make an entry.
