60‑month range 10.54 TWD – 24.70 TWD · fair‑value band 14.66 TWD – 24.43 TWD · the 20.35 TWD price screens above the 19.55 TWD fair value. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Analysis
Union Bank of Taiwan (2838) currently trades at 20.35 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 19.55 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 3.9% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 31/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services 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, Union Bank of Taiwan generated revenue of 20.3B TWD at a net margin of 31.5%. Revenue grew 9.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.6%. Net debt stands at 69.1B TWD. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 14.66 TWD (bear case) to 24.43 TWD (bull case); at 20.35 TWD, the current price sits within 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 8% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 46% fair-value upside, at -4%, 2838 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 4 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (17.19 TWD) versus Asset-Based (12.42 TWD). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
