Mitsubishi Electric (TSE:6503): Valuation Check After New Cooling Tech and High-Voltage IGBT Module Advances

Mitsubishi Electric (TSE:6503) just put its R and D engine on display, unveiling microbubble driven cooling tech and new high isolation HVIGBT modules that directly target efficiency, carbon neutrality, and heavy duty industrial demand.

Investors seem to be noticing these moves, with a 1 day share price return of 3.42 percent adding to a strong year to date share price return of 72.10 percent and an 81.38 percent 1 year total shareholder return. This suggests momentum is still building rather than fading.

If Mitsubishi Electric's push into advanced power electronics has your attention, this could be a good moment to explore other aerospace and defense stocks that are also leaning into efficiency and electrification themes.

Yet with the share price already far above analyst targets and trading at a steep premium to intrinsic value models, investors face a tougher question: is Mitsubishi Electric still a buy, or is future growth already priced in?

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 13% Overvalued

With Mitsubishi Electric last closing at ¥4621 against a narrative fair value of ¥4090, the current share price already sits ahead of modeled fundamentals.

The relatively low difference between the current share price and the analyst consensus price target indicates that they believe on average, the company is fairly priced.
