Questions

Which companies are Mitsuba's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: SuperAlloy Industrial (1563.TW), Uniparts India (UNIPARTS.NS), Unipres (5949.T), Nihon Tokushu Toryo (4619.T), Winstech Precision (001319.SZ), CUB Elecparts (2231.TW), Cooper-Standard (CPS), Titan International (TWI).
Is Mitsuba expensive compared with its peers?
On ev / sales it trades at 0.3× against a peer median of 1.3×, 2nd cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -16% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +5%, so the hurdle is -21 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Mitsuba stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +1.8% against -21.3% for the median peer; over one year +20.2%.

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.
