What Ihi does

Diversified heavy-industry maker of aero-engine parts, ships, boilers and industrial plant equipment.

Earns from large project contracts such as power plants, bridges and tunneling machines, alongside aero-engine work in partnerships with the major engine makers, where it makes parts and later earns from repair. It left shipbuilding in 2013 when its yard merged into Japan Marine United.

In one line: A smaller, diversified Honeywell Aerospace plus an industrial conglomerate.

The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Lincoln Electric (LECO), ACM Research (Shanghai) (688082.SS), IDEX (IEX), Nordson (NDSN), Lifco (LIFCO-B.ST), Woodward (WWD).
Is Ihi expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 12.7× against a peer median of 22.9×, cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 17% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +8%, so the hurdle is +9 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Ihi stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -19.7% against -11.2% for the median peer; over one year -24.0%.

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.
