Proven numbersAcceleratingAI verdict · as of 2026-08-21

The move is getting stronger, with heavier trading behind it.

SMC Q1 F2027 revenue up 34% with EPS 61% above consensus — Japanese pneumatics-and-automation leader at 25x, up 44% year-on-year.

SMC Corporation is a Japanese industrial automation specialist making pneumatic and electric actuators, valves, air preparation systems, and adjacent factory-automation components sold globally. The setup is a Japanese blue-chip industrial catching a decisive factory-automation cycle acceleration.

  • Q1 fiscal-2027 revenue was ¥269B, up 34% year-on-year, with 27% operating margin and 47% gross margin — the operational tell that both regional volumes and mix are contributing to the acceleration.
  • Q1 EPS came in at $6.62 versus $4.10 consensus (61% beat) with the pattern of the last four surprises (+61%, +10%, +17%, +28%) all positive — sell-side is chronically underestimating the cycle recovery pace.
  • Analyst estimates model fiscal 2027 revenue at ¥1.02T growing to ¥1.11T in 2028 and ¥1.16T in 2029 — the multi-year trajectory reflects continued factory-automation adoption, and the 2031 consensus of ¥1.23T implies durable growth.
  • Trades at 24.7x trailing earnings, 5.4x sales, and 13.8x EV/EBITDA with a 7% return on invested capital and clean 0.02 debt-to-equity — reasonable multiples for a Japanese blue-chip industrial in a cycle recovery.

What extends the move is Nov 13 Q2 confirming continued double-digit revenue growth alongside a specific China auto-capex or US reshoring commentary. What breaks it is a China industrial-PMI contraction, a specific competitive announcement from Festo or Parker Hannifin, or a yen-strengthening headwind on translated earnings; the automation cycle is intact.

What to watch: Nov 13 fiscal-Q2 earnings — consensus $4.25 EPS. Watch pneumatic and electric actuator revenue mix, geographic breakdown (China vs. US vs. Europe), gross-margin trend, and any yen-dollar sensitivity commentary.

Fundamentals & catalyst

Profitability, valuation, and the next earnings event — at a glance, with rule-of-thumb signals.

Key ratios

P/E
24.7How much investors are paying per dollar of profit the company actually earned in the last 12 months. Lower means the stock looks cheaper relative to earnings.~15–25 is typical for the S&P 500; high-growth names trade 30+; hyper-growth or speculative can be 100+ or negative.
ROIC
7.1%What percentage return the business earns on every dollar of capital (equity + debt) deployed in operations. The cleanest measure of business quality.Above ~15% is high-quality; consistently above 25% suggests a real moat. Below the company's cost of capital is value-destroying.
Op margin
24.1%Operating profit (after sales, marketing, R&D, and overhead but before interest and taxes) as a percentage of revenue. The clearest view of how well the underlying business is run.Mature business above 20% is healthy; software businesses can run 30%+; commodity / retail businesses operate in single digits.
FCF yield
0.0%Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capex) divided by the company's market cap. The cash-on-cash return you'd get owning the whole business at today's price.Above ~5% is attractive; below ~2% means you're paying up for growth. Capital-light businesses (software) run higher than capital-heavy ones (utilities).
P/S
5.4Same idea as P/E but per dollar of revenue. Useful for companies that aren't profitable yet, where P/E is meaningless.Under ~2 is cheap; software / SaaS often runs 8–15; well above 20 implies the market is pricing in very high future growth.
ROE
9.7%Net income as a percentage of shareholders' equity. Similar to ROIC but counts only the equity side.Above 20% is strong, but can be inflated by leverage — a heavily indebted company can show high ROE with weak underlying ROIC.
Gross margin
46.0%Revenue minus the direct cost of producing what was sold, as a percentage of revenue. The first read on whether the product is structurally profitable.Software / SaaS is typically 70%+; consumer goods 30–50%; commodity / hardware businesses can be under 20%.
D/E
0.0Total debt divided by shareholders' equity. Measures how much the business runs on borrowed money versus owner capital.Under 1 is conservative; 1–2 is typical for mature businesses; over 2 is leveraged and more sensitive to interest rates.
