Analysis
Kurita Water Industries Ltd (KTWIF) currently trades at $52.75, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $19.20, implying the stock looks roughly 63.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 63/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Kurita Water Industries Ltd generated revenue of $403B at a net margin of 4.0%. It earns a return on equity of 11.8%. Net debt stands at $37.1B. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 23.3. Fundamentals as of Jul 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $14.40 (bear case) to $24.00 (bull case); at $52.75, 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 3% below its 52-week high and 62% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -64%, KTWIF screens richer 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 24 models by family
