The narrative model flags Ichigo as 4.3% overvalued at ¥438 versus a ¥420 fair value, but its earnings ratio tells a different story. The current P/E of 9.8x sits below both the JP Real Estate industry average of 11.8x and an estimated fair ratio of 12.5x. This suggests a more forgiving price. If the market shifts closer to that fair ratio, today’s level could look less demanding. Which story do you think holds more weight?
