Analysis

Cheng Loong Corporation (1904) currently trades at 22.80 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 16.26 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 28.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 49/100 (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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Cheng Loong Corporation generated revenue of 43.1B TWD at a net margin of 3.2%. Revenue grew 1.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.4%. Net debt stands at 24.8B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 12.20 TWD (bear case) to 20.33 TWD (bull case); at 22.80 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 5% below its 52-week high and 41% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at 10% fair-value upside, at -29%, 1904 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.
