Eveillard is targeting shares of companies with
property holdings in Tokyo because commercial land
prices are rising for the first time in 16 years
and office vacancies are falling to the lowest in
at least six years. He holds Tokyo-based Toho Co.,
Japan's biggest film company, which hasn't marked
up the value of its real estate in more than 50 years.
Toho, which had a 16 percent drop in fiscal
first-half profit, owns property and buildings in
central Tokyo that are worth about 582.6 billion
yen ($5.22 billion), according to Sydney-based
investment bank Macquarie Group Ltd.
That's 16 times more than the book value of 35.8
billion yen and exceeds Toho's market
capitalization of 477.2 billion yen. Adjusting for
the market value of its property holdings, Toho is
valued at about 0.6 times the company's total net
assets, according to Bloomberg calculations.
