Analysis
Nidec Corporation (NJDCY) currently trades at $4.29, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $4.76, implying the stock looks roughly 11.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (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, Nidec Corporation generated revenue of $2.6T at a net margin of 4.6%. Revenue grew 2.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.3%. Net debt stands at $390B. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $3.28 (bear case) to $5.95 (bull case); at $4.29, 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 24% below its 52-week high and 133% 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 11%, NJDCY 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($5.40) versus Asset-Based ($1.56). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (72).
