Restar has delivered a powerful share price run in recent years, which naturally raises the question of whether the current ¥6,120 level is adequately supported by the cash the business can generate over time. With the stock now much higher than it was several years ago, the key issue for you is how that market enthusiasm lines up against the company’s underlying cash flows.
- Restar has returned 319.4% over 5 years, which puts a lot of weight on the idea that its future cash flows can justify such a strong compounding outcome.
- The business model now faces the practical test of how efficiently it can turn revenue into durable free cash flow, since that ultimately sets the ceiling on what investors might be prepared to pay today.

The issue now is whether Restar’s current share price can be explained by the intrinsic value implied by its cash flows.

Is Restar Still Cheap on Cash Flow?
The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) approach estimates what Restar might be worth based on the cash it can return to shareholders over time. In the latest twelve months the group reported a free cash flow loss of ¥7,194.1 million, so the model leans heavily on an expectation that cash generation recovers rather than staying at that level.
Analysts supplying the DCF inputs expect Restar’s free cash flow to move into positive territory, with forecasts extending over the next decade and then easing into slower growth as the business matures. When all those future cash flows are discounted back, the DCF output indicates an intrinsic value that is substantially above the current ¥6,120.00 share price. That gap is what the detailed valuation breakdown is designed to help you assess more closely. Find out what Restar could be worth using our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) estimate.
