The cockpit's peer set: JBCC (9889.T), Pasqal (PSQL), Jess-Link Products (6197.TW), Emdoor Information (001314.SZ), Toukei Computer (4746.T), Clevo (2362.TW), MilDef (MILDEF.ST), SECO (IOT.MI).
Is Zkteco expensive compared with its peers?
On ev / sales it trades at 1.9× against a peer median of 2.9×, 7th cheapest of 20 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 7% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +3%, so the hurdle is +4 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Zkteco stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -19.0% against -10.5% for the median peer; over one year -19.7%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
