What Teijin does

Diversified Japanese materials company making aramid and carbon fibers, polyester films, and pharmaceuticals/home healthcare products.

Sells advanced fibres and composites to industrial customers such as carmakers and aircraft suppliers, and a healthcare division earns from prescription drugs and from renting home oxygen and sleep-apnea equipment to patients. The home-care rentals are paid month by month under Japan's insurance system, which smooths income against the project-driven materials side.

In one line: A diversified advanced-materials and healthcare conglomerate, like a mix of DuPont and a m.

Is Teijin expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 6.9× against a peer median of 11.4×, cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -11% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +1%, so the hurdle is -12 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Teijin stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +7.4% against +0.1% for the median peer; over one year +26.7%.

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.
