Is Nippon Ceramic expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 12.7× against a peer median of 18.0×, 5th cheapest of 12 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -4% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +10%, so the hurdle is -14 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Nippon Ceramic stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -13.8% against -26.5% for the median peer; over one year -10.9%.

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.
