Nagano Keiki, a smaller player in the electronics sector, has been making waves with its impressive 32% earnings growth over the past year, outpacing an industry decline of 1.7%. This growth trajectory is likely supported by its strong financial health, evidenced by a net debt to equity ratio of 9%, which is quite satisfactory. The company's interest payments are well covered with EBIT covering them 35 times over. Trading at about 56% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation.
