What MonotaRO does

Japanese e-commerce retailer of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) supplies for factories, workshops and offices.

Earns the markup on goods it buys from suppliers and ships from its own distribution centres, taking orders online and promising fast delivery on many items. It began in 2000 as a joint venture of US industrial distributor W.W. Grainger and Sumitomo, and Grainger remains the largest shareholder.

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.
