About Quantitative Ratings
Morningstar Quantitative Ratings for Stocks are generated using an algorithm that compares companies that are not under analyst coverage to peer companies that do receive analyst-driven ratings. Companies with quantitative ratings are not formally covered by a Morningstar analyst, but are statistically matched to analyst-rated companies, allowing our models to calculate a quantitative moat, fair value, and uncertainty rating.

Company Profile
Yakult Honsha is a pioneer in probiotics. It launched the probiotic drink Yakult in 1935 after Minoru Shirota’s discovery of Lactobacillus casei Shirota, a strain of lactic acid bacteria, which proved to be able to live in the intestines, in 1930. It operates in 40 countries across four continents, selling mainly Yakult probiotic drinks. Apart from the retail outlets, the home delivery channel, served by a team of 83,000 Yakult Ladies globally, contributes about 45% of its probiotic drink volume. Overseas markets contribute 40% of group sales and profits. Yakult has built a meaningful presence in populated emerging markets, including China, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil. It plans to step up expansion in the US with a new factory in Georgia, which will triple its US production capacity.
