What Okamura does

Japanese maker of office furniture, store fixtures and logistics equipment for corporate and retail clients.

Sells office furniture mainly in large orders tied to office moves, refits and new buildings, so demand follows corporate property decisions rather than steady replacement. Store fixtures and logistics systems follow retail and warehouse investment.

In one line: Japan's Steelcase/Herman Miller.

Is Okamura expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 9.5× against a peer median of 18.4×, 3rd cheapest of 15 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -7% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +6%, so the hurdle is -13 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Okamura stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -14.2% against -15.7% for the median peer; over one year -7.1%.

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.
