Analysis
China Steel Chemical Corporation (1723) currently trades at 84.80 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 48.50 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 42.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 56/100 (solid 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, China Steel Chemical Corporation generated revenue of 5.4B TWD at a net margin of 10.6%. Revenue declined 24.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.0%. Net debt stands at 1.7B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 39.72 TWD (bear case) to 63.05 TWD (bull case); at 84.80 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 11% below its 52-week high and 28% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -43%, 1723 screens cheaper 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: Dividend Discount (45.23 TWD) versus Earnings-Based (19.64 TWD). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
