What matters now

  • The price is below even our cautious bear case ($19.55). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • Solid quality (66/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.

Price vs Fair Value (5 years)

$31.38 $12.41 Fair Value $26.03 Jul 2015 Aug 2026

White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 18, 2026.

How to read this chart

60‑month range $12.41 – $31.38 · fair‑value band $19.55 – $32.51 · the $17.35 price screens below the $26.03 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.

Analysis

Hakuhodo DY Holdings Inc ADR (HKUOY) currently trades at $17.35, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $26.03, implying the stock looks roughly 33.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the Growth DCF group reads highest at a median of $54.85 per share, and 21 of the 22 models we run sit above the $17.35 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at $9.83, and 1 of the 22 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Hakuhodo DY Holdings Inc ADR generated revenue of $861B at a net margin of 2.0%. Revenue declined 9.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $114B. Fundamentals as of Aug 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $19.55 (bear case) to $32.51 (bull case); at $17.35, 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 near its 52-week high and 40% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −13% fair-value upside, at 50%, HKUOY screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2026 figures, and about 5 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly $0.2452 per share, which is 0.9 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

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.

Model Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

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.
