YONEX (TSE:7906) Weighs A Bigger India Stake, Is The Stock Undervalued?

YONEX (TSE:7906) has called a board meeting for 16 September 2026 to consider acquiring shares in SUNRISE SPORTS (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED, its product distributor, and accounting for it under the equity method.

For investors watching the bigger picture, YONEX’s share price has fallen 16.44% over the past month and is down 30.19% year to date. However, the 5 year total shareholder return of 210.39% and 3 year gain of 48.79% indicate longer term momentum that this SUNRISE INDIA move could test or help revive.

YONEX is now weighing a deeper stake in its key Indian distributor after a sharp share price pullback. Does that combination justify buying on weakness today, or waiting for an even cleaner entry after the valuation work?

Preferred P/E of 14.9x for YONEX: Is it justified?

YONEX trades on a P/E of 14.9x, which screens as good value against several benchmarks while the share price sits at ¥2,349 after a steep pullback.

The P/E ratio compares what investors pay today for each unit of earnings that the business generates. For a sports equipment manufacturer with a long operating history and positive net income of ¥13,445, this lens gives a simple way to weigh current expectations against reported profitability.

At a high level, YONEX screens as good value on multiple fronts. The SWS DCF model estimates a future cash flow value of ¥4,166.37 per share, and the stock trades 43.6% below that figure. Its current P/E of 14.9x is also below the estimated fair P/E of 15.6x, which suggests the valuation could move closer to that level if earnings and sentiment hold together.

Compared with peers, the market is pricing YONEX more conservatively. The current P/E of 14.9x sits below the JP Leisure industry average of 15.7x and under the peer group average of 16.8x. That combination of a discount to both sector and peer multiples, plus a lower P/E than the fair ratio estimate of 15.6x, points to a market that is applying a relatively cautious earnings multiple despite the long term total return record.

Result: Price-to-earnings of 14.9x (UNDERVALUED)

Still, the share price slide of 30.19% year to date and a 35.53% total return decline over 1 year show that sentiment around YONEX can shift quickly.
