Analysis
Formosa Taffeta Co (1434) currently trades at 17.25 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 8.74 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 49.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Formosa Taffeta Co generated revenue of 27.5B TWD at a net margin of 3.1%. Revenue declined 10.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 2.2%. Net debt stands at 8.0B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 23, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 6.56 TWD (bear case) to 11.11 TWD (bull case); at 17.25 TWD, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 7% below its 52-week high and 20% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -27% fair-value upside, at -49%, 1434 screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
