Analysis
Taiwan Wax Company (1742) currently trades at 17.85 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 28.62 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 60.3% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.
Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at 88.5M TWD. Revenue declined 56.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -7.6%. Net debt stands at 270M TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 23, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 26.77 TWD (bear case) to 30.08 TWD (bull case); at 17.85 TWD, the current price sits below 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 1% below its 52-week high and 37% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -58% fair-value upside, at 60%, 1742 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 8 models by family
