Fair value as of: Jul 16, 2026

From 12 valuation models · updated 22 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 16, 2026, revised from 8.76 TWD to 17.48 TWD (+99.5%) since Jul 7, 2026. Share price −2.5% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 53% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (29.74 TWD). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (43/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The model range is unusually wide (5.80 TWD to 29.74 TWD). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

China Steel Corporation (2002A) currently trades at 37.45 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 17.48 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 53.3% overvalued today. We read business quality at 43/100 (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, China Steel Corporation generated revenue of 313B TWD at a net margin of -2.3%. Revenue declined 4.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -1.8%. Net debt stands at 241B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 5.80 TWD (bear case) to 29.74 TWD (bull case); at 37.45 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 10% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at -53%, 2002A 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.
