Fuji Seal International (FSG, CapY190 Bn) is a major global manufacturer in the packaging industry, particularly within the specialized markets of labeling and flexible packaging.
With foreign ownership already above 30%, the name is hardly undiscovered. Yet at PE 10.3x, PB 1.14x, and EV/EBITDA 4.8x—despite being well into a U-shaped earnings recovery—the valuation still looks undemanding, leaving meaningful upside potential.
In my note to the clients, I outlines the drivers behind their upside potential.
