Sanrio owns Hello Kitty and a stable of characters that it licenses globally. It has become a very high-return, asset-light IP business, with a quality score of 91 and strong overseas licensing growth. The weak points are price and supply: the valuation already assumes years of growth, and insiders sold about 1.57% of shares in the past 90 days, a substantial disposal that dampens the signal from management.

Swung more than 69% of stocks we rank over the past year (54% a year).
How this is worked out
What it measures: day-to-day price moves over the past year, as a yearly figure, ranked against every stock we cover. Very calm under 20% a year, Calm 20 to 30%, Average 30 to 40%, Bumpy 40 to 55%, Very bumpy above that.
What we found: across about 13,500 stocks in 34 markets (2002 to 2025), past swings were a good guide to the next year's, and bumpier stocks fell further. How much further changed too much between eras to put a number on it.
Calm is not safe: a calm stock can still slide steadily.
