Analysis
Walsin Lihwa Corporation (1605) currently trades at 34.55 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 15.07 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 56.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Walsin Lihwa Corporation generated revenue of 170B TWD at a net margin of 3.6%. Revenue declined 8.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.3%. Net debt stands at 76.6B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 11.30 TWD (bear case) to 18.84 TWD (bull case); at 34.55 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 26% below its 52-week high and 79% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -25% fair-value upside, at -56%, 1605 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.
All 10 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit (25.29 TWD) versus Dividend Discount (5.85 TWD). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
