§Winston Score History

The full picture

Sekisui House is one of Japan's largest homebuilders. It designs, builds, and sells houses — including custom-built detached homes, rental apartment buildings, and condominiums. The company also manages residential properties and develops commercial real estate. Its customers range from individual homebuyers to real estate investors.

Sekisui House earns revenue from home sales, construction contracts, property management fees, and real estate development. It operates primarily in Japan but has expanded into the United States, Australia, and other international markets. With over 2.5 million cumulative homes built, the company benefits from strong brand recognition and a large base of existing customers who generate recurring renovation and management income. A key growth driver is its international expansion, particularly in the US housing market, though the business remains sensitive to interest rate changes and demographic trends like Japan's shrinking population.
