COMPANY HIGHLIGHTS: Excerpts (as conveyed by Argus Analyst Steve Silver) include:

SYLA Technologies: Democratizing Real Estate Investment in Japan

In our view, SYLA Technologies has achieved a leading position among Japanese real estate crowdsourcing platforms in the three years since the platform launch. We see the company being well positioned to capitalize on favorable regulatory trends promoting real estate investments in Japan.
We view the company's investments in artificial intelligence (AI) as supporting its efficiency, by automating several processes in identifying properties and developing and managing projects.
In the first half of 2023, SYLA reported a nearly 60% increase in its crowdsourcing member base, and anticipates continued growth in both members and revenue, as several property projects are expected to be completed by the end of 2023. We expect long-term membership growth to be supported by key marketing agreements, including with leader Rakuten, which features more than 100 million members in Japan.
We expect higher revenues in the second half of 2023, and view positively SYLA's outlook to double its dividend over the prior year, with a target payout ratio of 30% over time. In our view, the company's prospects to increase its profitability while returning capital to its shareholders through share repurchases and dividends are underappreciated by investors.
As of June 30, 2023, the company had 3.8 billion yen ($25.3 million USD) in both free and restricted cash on its balance sheet, with an improved asset base and working capital position following its 2023 initial public offering and Nasdaq listing.
Based on our Enterprise Value (EV) to revenue analysis, we arrive at a fair value of $8.00 per ADS.
