NPR-Riken (TSE:6209)

Simply Wall St Value Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: NPR-Riken Corporation, with a market cap of ¥70.40 billion, operates in the manufacturing and sales of automobile and marine engine parts both domestically in Japan and internationally.

Operations: NPR-Riken generates revenue primarily from the manufacturing and sales of automobile and marine engine parts. The company has a market cap of ¥70.40 billion, reflecting its significant presence in both domestic and international markets.

NPR-Riken, a player in the auto components sector, recently showcased an impressive earnings growth of 155%, outpacing the industry average of -9.3%.
