Kyokuto Kaihatsu (7226 JP) Buyback - It's Kinda Big, But There May Be More Behind

<p><a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/kyokuto-kaihatsu-kogyo-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14390:1" rel="noopener">Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo Co (7226 JP)</a> is, and has been for a a couple of decades, a value-stock player's dream. This company makes garbage trucks, dump trucks, concrete mixer trucks, sprinkler trucks, and truck parts such as lifters, etc.  They also make multi-story metal parking frames which can be sited easily on empty lots for those who want to use land but not redevelop.</p>
<p>The company has been cash-rich and asset-rich for ages - sometimes more so, sometimes less so - and has had hidden assets to boot. </p>
<p>The stock tends to "range-trade" around a range of PBR, dipping when earnings dip and rising as people get excited about trucks. But despite being a stock which some might call a value-trap, it has done pretty well over the years. Sometimes it gets REALLY cheap. </p>
