Analysis

Japan Airlines Co (JAPSY) currently trades at $9.70, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $21.74, implying the stock looks roughly 124.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Japan Airlines Co generated revenue of $2.0T at a net margin of 6.7%. Revenue grew 9.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 12.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $135B. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $16.31 (bear case) to $27.18 (bull case); at $9.70, the current price sits below 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 6% below its 52-week high and 27% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 40% fair-value upside, at 124%, JAPSY 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.
