Questions

Which companies are World's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: Bxn (002154.SZ), Onward (8016.T), AIMER (603511.SS), Shoei Co. Ltd. (7839) (7839.T), Logistea (LOGI-B.ST), Relaxo Footwears (RELAXO.NS), Campus Activewear (CAMPUS.NS), ZheJiang AoKang Shoes (603001.SS).
Is World expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 8.4× against a peer median of 20.4×, cheapest of 17 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -5% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +10%, so the hurdle is -15 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has World stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -4.8% against -12.2% for the median peer; over one year +3.7%.

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.
