Questions

Which companies are Note's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: Tianjin Jieqiang Power Equipment (300875.SZ), Ways Electron (605218.SS), Shenzhen Zowee Tech (002369.SZ), Kimball Electronics (KE), Shanghai Hollywave Electronic System (688682.SS), Launch Tech (2488.HK), Guangdong Tecsun Science & Technology (002908.SZ), Inventronics (Hangzhou) (300582.SZ).
Is Note expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 15.3× against a peer median of 17.8×, 5th cheapest of 11 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 0% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +15%, so the hurdle is -15 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Note stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -12.4% against -28.2% for the median peer; over one year -17.4%.

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.
