Questions

Which companies are Unipres's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: CUB Elecparts (2231.TW), Cooper-Standard (CPS), Titan International (TWI), Mitsuba (7280.T), SuperAlloy Industrial (1563.TW), Shanghai Mobitech Technology (301173.SZ), Nanjing Chervon Auto Precision Technology (603982.SS), Kendrion (KENDR.AS).
Is Unipres expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 11.2× against a peer median of 11.6×, 5th cheapest of 10 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -14% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +7%, so the hurdle is -21 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Unipres stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -6.7% against -23.6% for the median peer; over one year +0.2%.

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.
