After a completed buyback, strong recent returns and a medium term plan built around higher value segments, does Dai Nippon Printing still offer a favourable balance of potential upside against the risks at today’s valuation?

Price-to-earnings of 12.8x for Dai Nippon Printing: Is it justified?

Dai Nippon Printing is currently on a P/E of 12.8x, which sits below both its peer average of 16.9x and the broader JP Commercial Services industry average of 13.3x, pointing to a discount at the recent close of ¥3,105.

The P/E multiple compares the company’s share price to its earnings per share and is often used to gauge how much investors are paying for each unit of current earnings. For a business like Dai Nippon Printing, which operates across smart communication, life and healthcare, and electronics segments, this is a straightforward way to see how the market is pricing its existing profit base relative to similar companies.

According to the SWS checks, Dai Nippon Printing is described as good value based on its P/E compared with both peers and the wider industry, while an estimated fair P/E “fair ratio” of 19.9x indicates the current 12.8x level sits well below where the multiple could move if the market re-rated the stock closer to that benchmark.

Result: Price-to-earnings of 12.8x (UNDERVALUED)

However, Dai Nippon Printing still faces risks around relatively modest annual revenue and net income growth, as well as heavy exposure to Japan, which could limit re rating potential.
