Honda Motor (TSE:7267) Valuation Check After a 33% Share Price Gain Over the Past Year

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Honda Motor (TSE:7267) has quietly put up a solid showing for shareholders, with the stock gaining about 33% over the past year even as the past 3 months have cooled slightly.

See our latest analysis for Honda Motor.

That move has been driven more by a reset in expectations than a sudden surge, with a modestly positive 1 month share price return but a strong 1 year total shareholder return showing longer term momentum is still intact.

If Honda’s steady climb has you thinking about what else might be revving up, now could be a good time to explore other auto manufacturers.

With earnings still growing and shares trading at a noticeable discount to both intrinsic value estimates and analyst targets, is Honda’s current price a rare misfire by the market, or does it already reflect its next leg of growth?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 8.6% Undervalued

Honda Motor’s most followed valuation narrative points to a fair value above the last close of ¥1,583, framing the current price as a modest opportunity rather than a stretched bet.

Ongoing cost optimization through price revisions, operational efficiencies, and expanding use of common platforms across models is improving cost structure and profitability, which will likely support higher long-term net margins and earnings stability even amidst short-term pressures from tariffs and currency fluctuations.
