Analysis

Komatsu Ltd (KMTUY) currently trades at $48.36, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $50.83, implying the stock looks roughly 4.9% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $53.06 per share, and 11 of the 24 models we run sit above the $48.36 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $16.36, and 13 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Komatsu Ltd generated revenue of ¥4.1T at a net margin of 9.1%. Revenue grew 6.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.4%. Net debt stands at ¥984B. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $29.20 (bear case) to $73.10 (bull case); at $48.36, 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 7% below its 52-week high and 71% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −18% fair-value upside, at 5%, KMTUY 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.

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.
