Questions

Which companies are Kamei's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: Yellow Hat (9882.T), Superior Plus (SPB.TO), MAAS (MGH.AX), Matsuda Sangyo (7456.T), Mitsuuroko (8131.T), San-ai Obbli (8097.T), Wah Lee Industrial (3010.TW), Lx International (001120.KS).
Is Kamei expensive compared with its peers?
On ev / sales it trades at 0.2× against a peer median of 0.6×, 3rd cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -13% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +8%, so the hurdle is -21 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Kamei stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +40.0% against -15.0% for the median peer; over one year +51.6%.

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.
