What matters now

  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (30.18 TWD). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • Solid quality (58/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

First Insurance Co Ltd (2852) currently trades at 28.30 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 40.23 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 29.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of 37.99 TWD per share, and 3 of the 4 models we run sit above the 28.30 TWD price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 20.36 TWD, and 1 of the 4 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.

Over the trailing twelve months, First Insurance Co Ltd generated revenue of 7.5B TWD at a net margin of 11.9%. Revenue declined 2.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 2.1B TWD. Fundamentals as of Aug 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 30.18 TWD (bear case) to 50.29 TWD (bull case); at 28.30 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 4% below its 52-week high and 16% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at −3% fair-value upside, at 42%, 2852 screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly 0.8596 TWD per share, which is 2.1 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
