LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. American Depositary Shares (LFS): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol LFS · Communication Services · Entertainment · Japan · ADR · Growth
LFS is an American depositary share (ADR): the US listing of LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. American Depositary Shares, whose own shares trade on its home exchange. It trades in dollars during US hours; currency moves and the home country's rules also affect it, and the depositary bank charges a small yearly fee.
Is LFS undervalued?
At 2.03 (close of 5 Nov 2026), LFS trades 56% below the GLS average fair value of 4.56. That average comes from 8 models run on the latest filings, and 6 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. American Depositary Shares the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
There is a wide gap between Graham Number (1.19) and GLS Growth (8.67). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.
Ranked against every other company we cover, LFS is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 49, growth score 77, out of 100).

Quality and financial health
LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. American Depositary Shares scores 6 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score: a middling result that passes the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. Some of the nine tests on profitability, leverage and efficiency are failed, so the accounts are worth a look before selling a put on the name. On durability LFS scores 6.0/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 15.2%, ROE 23.9%, ROA 9.4% - with debt at 0.57 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 4.8%.
LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. American Depositary Shares pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.

Wheel Score 34: No options
No options are listed on LEIFRAS Co., Ltd. American Depositary Shares in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 34, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 26k shares a day on a market cap of $53M, with a beta of -0.91 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.

| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $53M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 2.03 (under $5) |
