Analysis
Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel Corp (2008) currently trades at 31.30 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 11.58 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 63.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 54/100 (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, Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel Corp generated revenue of 1.7B TWD at a net margin of 8.4%. Revenue declined 23.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.0%. Net debt stands at 3.9B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 23, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 8.69 TWD (bear case) to 13.01 TWD (bull case); at 31.30 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 near its 52-week high and 32% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at -63%, 2008 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 20 models by family
