Valued above its peers on earnings
At 18.0x trailing earnings, JAPAN POST BANK Co., Ltd. trades 26% above the median of 4 peers (14.3x).
At 1.2x book value, JAPAN POST BANK Co., Ltd. trades 19% below the median of 4 peers (1.4x).
Return on equity was 5.8% in FY26, below the 8.3% a year shareholders require (the cost of equity). A simple rule, fair P/B = (ROE − g) ÷ (cost of equity − g), gives about 0.5x against 1.2x today, if that return lasts.
Earnings yield is 5.5% (trailing earnings ÷ price) against 4.9% on a 10-year government bond: more profit per yen of price than the bond pays, though profits are less certain than interest.
Business health grade E (25 out of 100): shows serious signs of financial stress, with 1 strength and 4 red flags (top concern: thin capital cushion).
Educational, not investment advice. “Favourable” means the numbers lean in today's price's favour; “Caution” means the price asks a lot of the future.
Every valuation range side by side, against today's price and the value estimate. Per share, in JPY.
| Range | Low | Mid | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| P/B comps (25th to 75th percentile) | ¥2,833 | ¥3,723 | ¥4,260 |

Is this a good, honest business, not just a cheap one? Published screens on the reported annual accounts (FY23–FY26), plus plain ratios. Screens, not verdicts: read the accounts before relying on any of them.
Grade E (25/100): shows serious signs of financial stress, with 1 strength and 4 red flags (top concern: thin capital cushion).
Piotroski F-score (Joseph Piotroski, 2000): nine pass-or-fail tests of profitability, debt, liquidity and efficiency, each comparing the latest year with the one before. 7 or more is strong; 3 or fewer is weak.
Altman Z'' (Edward Altman, 1995, the version for non-manufacturers and emerging markets): combines working capital, retained earnings, operating profit and book equity relative to the balance sheet. Above 2.60 is the safe zone, below 1.10 the distress zone.
Beneish M-score (Messod Beneish, 1999): eight ratios that, in his study, separated companies later found to have manipulated earnings. Above −1.78 resembles that pattern. It is a prompt to read the notes to the accounts, not an accusation.
Grade: a 0 to 100 blend (Piotroski 40%, Altman 20%, Beneish 15%, the ratios 25%, re-weighted when a part is missing): A from 80, B from 65, C from 50, D from 35, E below.
All three screens were built on US companies and annual accounts from Yahoo Finance, which can be incomplete. Lenders, insurers and holding companies get financial-firm ratios instead of the Altman and Beneish screens.
Price targets and ratings from the brokers' analysts who cover the stock, as Yahoo collects them. Their opinion, not this app's; set against the model so you can see where you differ.
10 analysts' average 12-month target is ¥3,642, +20.3% against today's ¥3,028 (median ¥3,720). The range runs from ¥2,850 to ¥4,500.
Your value estimate of ¥3,070 is 16% below the analysts' average: a big gap is worth explaining, it usually comes down to growth or margin assumptions.
Targets are usually for 12 months ahead and tend to run optimistic; brokers that cover a company often do business with it. Counts and targets come from different updates, so they may not match exactly.
How much the shares have swung and how far they have fallen over five years. Risk repeats far more reliably than direction, so this is the honest kind of forecast: how far the price may move, not which way.

For a lender, an insurer or an investment holding company, debt is raw material rather than financing, so free cash flow to the firm and the WACC bridge don't describe the business. The value above uses peer P/E and P/B only.
