Japanese (NIKKEI) Energy Sector Analysis

Sector Valuation and Performance

Has the Japanese Energy Sector valuation changed over the past few years?

Current Industry PE: There is only one profitable company in this industry, so there is insufficient data to make an industry-wide assessment of PE.

Past Earnings Growth: The earnings for companies in the Energy industry have declined 7.6% per year over the last three years, while revenues have remained mostly flat. This means that although sales have remained flat, either the cost of doing business or the level of investment back into businesses has increased, which has decreased profits.

Which industries have driven the changes within the Japanese Energy sector?
