Metaplanet (TSE:3350) Stock Could Be 29% Overvalued On Its US Bitcoin Push

Metaplanet stock has delivered a very large three year return, yet the current valuation checks suggest the shares are trading at a premium to their intrinsic value estimate. Both the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) intrinsic value model and market multiples point in the same direction for Metaplanet, even after the recent news around its Bitcoin focused expansion into the United States.

• Over the past three years, Metaplanet has returned roughly 14x. This puts extra focus on whether the current share price can be supported by future cash flows rather than past gains.

• The planned build out of a U.S. Bitcoin treasury vehicle through the Superplanet structure may support higher growth expectations. At the same time, concentration in Bitcoin holdings and capital market execution risk can weigh on how investors price the stock.

• On a broad set of valuation checks, Metaplanet screens as expensive rather than a clear bargain, with 0 of 6 checks indicating undervaluation.

The issue now is whether Metaplanet's current market price already reflects, or even exceeds, what the intrinsic value and multiples suggest is reasonable after such a strong multi year run.
