Questions

Which companies are NVE's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: GEM Services (6525.TW), Sunplus Technology (2401.TW), Leaguer (Shenzhen) Microelectronics (688589.SS), EGing Photovoltaic Technology (600537.SS), Intelligo Technology (7749.TW), Weebit Nano (WBT.AX), Seoul Semiconductor (046890.KS), Shenzhen Australis Electronic Technology (300940.SZ).
Is NVE expensive compared with its peers?
On ev / sales it trades at 11.2× against a peer median of 2.8×, 2nd most expensive 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).

How has NVE stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -15.8% against -31.4% for the median peer; over one year +12.9%.

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.
