Analysis
The Japan Steel Works, Ltd (JPSWY) currently trades at $24.55, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $18.04, implying the stock looks roughly 26.5% overvalued today.

Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, The Japan Steel Works, Ltd generated revenue of $275B at a net margin of 7.0%. Revenue grew 12.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.5%. Net debt stands at $10.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $13.53 (bear case) to $22.55 (bull case); at $24.55, the current price sits above 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 27% below its 52-week high and 11% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -27%, JPSWY 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 14 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($33.14) versus DCF Models ($5.65). Highest evidence: ROIC Compounder (72).
