Fundamentals
Valuation and ratings
Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. trades at $7.90, which is 46% above the $4.23 our fair value estimate puts on the business. On that measure it screens as expensive, which is not the same as saying it will fall.
Our moat model scores it 47 out of 100, which is a moat, but not a deep one. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
It changes hands at 56.4 times earnings. Be careful reading that in isolation: for a cyclical business a low P/E arrives at the top of the cycle, when profits are peaking and about to fall, which is exactly when the shares look cheapest and are not.

Common questions
Is Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (HPHTY) undervalued?
Against our fair value estimate of $4.23, HPHTY at $7.90 is 46% above fair value. That is one model's answer, not a recommendation. It is built from normalized earning power with growth capped deliberately low, which understates companies whose value is mostly future growth.
What is HPHTY's P/E ratio?
HPHTY trades at 56.4 times earnings. A low P/E is not automatically cheap: on a cyclical company it is usually a warning that earnings are at a peak.
Does Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (HPHTY) pay a dividend?
Yes. Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. yields 1.57% at the current share price. It has paid $0.059 per share over the trailing twelve months. It has paid a dividend in each of the last 10 complete calendar years. A dividend is declared by the board and can be cut at any time; a yield is a fact about the current price, not a promise.
