What matters now
- The price is below even our cautious bear case ($33.31). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
- Solid quality (65/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
- A fairly wide model range ($33.31 to $76.25) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Canon Inc. (CAJPY) currently trades at $29.89, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $53.43, implying the stock looks roughly 44.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $61.32 per share, and 18 of the 23 models we run sit above the $29.89 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $18.55, and 5 of the 23 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
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 Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $33.31 (bear case) to $76.25 (bull case); at $29.89, 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 7% below its 52-week high and 19% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −53% fair-value upside, at 79%, 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, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($61.32) versus Asset-Based ($18.55). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (81).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 63 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 61
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
