There's a lot working in Kubota's (OTC:KUBTY) favor these days. The lower value of the yen makes its products cheaper, while rising incomes across Asia make its agricultural equipment more attainable. Add to that a recovery in the U.S. housing market (where the company sells a lot of lawn equipment) and a stated goal to expand the dry land business, and there are multiple attractive growth drivers. The problem? It's just not possible to run an attractive valuation on a discounted cash flow basis, and I can't reconcile the idea of paying a 40% to 100% premium (in forward EV/EBITDA terms) for Kubota compared to Cummins (NYSE:CMI), Deere (NYSE:DE), AGCO (Nasdaq:AGCO), or CNH (NYSE:CNH).
