What Glory does

World-leading maker of cash-handling machines — ATMs, banknote/coin counters and vending change units.

Sells cash-handling machines and then earns again from service contracts and software, since banks and shops keep their machines for years and rely on Glory to maintain them. A large part of sales now comes from outside Japan, built up partly by buying cash-handling businesses abroad.

In one line: Japan's Diebold Nixdorf, cash-handling focused.

Questions

Who are Glory's main competitors?
Named competitors: Diebold Nixdorf (DBD), GRG Banking (002152.SZ), Fuji Electric (6504.T), NCR Voyix (VYX). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes TAIFLEX Scientific (8039.TW), Hangzhou Kelin Electric (688611.SS), Amano (6436.T), Zhejiang Dali Technology (002214.SZ), Hexing Electrical (603556.SS), Kinco Automation Shanghai (688160.SS).
Is Glory expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 12.2× against a peer median of 24.0×, cheapest of 16 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -8% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +9%, so the hurdle is -17 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Glory stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +16.4% against -16.5% for the median peer; over one year +26.1%.

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.
