Analysis
Canon Inc (CAJPY) currently trades at $29.48, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $44.23, implying the stock looks roughly 50.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, Canon Inc generated revenue of $4.7T at a net margin of 6.6%. Revenue grew 3.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.4%. Net debt stands at $360B. Fundamentals as of Jul 15, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $28.31 (bear case) to $63.17 (bull case); at $29.48, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 8% below its 52-week high and 17% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -67% fair-value upside, at 50%, CAJPY screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($49.30) versus Asset-Based ($17.79). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
