The market seems to be rewarding this sustainability push, with a roughly 50 percent year to date share price return and a 5 year total shareholder return above 200 percent, suggesting momentum is still building rather than fading.

If you like the structural themes behind Tokyu Fudosan but want more ideas, it could be worth scanning fast growing stocks with high insider ownership for other under the radar compounders.

Yet with the share price already ahead of analyst targets and long term returns firmly in triple digits, investors now face a tougher call: is there still upside left, or is future growth already priced in?

Price-To-Earnings of 9.9x: Is it justified?

On a last close of ¥1451, Tokyu Fudosan looks inexpensive, with a 9.9x price to earnings ratio that screens as good value against the broader Japanese market and real estate peers.

The price to earnings multiple compares what investors are paying today to each unit of current earnings. This is a key lens for a mature, cash generative real estate group like Tokyu Fudosan.

At 9.9x earnings, the market is assigning a discount despite significantly improved profitability, including high quality earnings, faster recent profit growth, and margins that have stepped up versus last year. This suggests investors may still be underpricing the durability of these earnings.

The gap is even starker when stacked against the estimated fair price to earnings ratio of 15.2x, as well as the Japan real estate industry average of 11.5x and the wider market’s 14x. This implies meaningful room for the multiple to converge higher if current performance trends hold.

However, risks remain, including modest single digit revenue and profit growth, plus shares already trading above consensus targets, limiting room for disappointment.

Another View: DCF Sends a Very Different Signal
