Fair value as of: Jul 21, 2026
From 6 valuation models · updated 20 days ago
Share price +6.8% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 43% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (11.65 TWD). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Weak quality (37/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Mercuries & Associates Holding (2905) currently trades at 16.40 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 9.32 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 43.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 37/100 (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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Mercuries & Associates Holding generated revenue of 159B TWD at a net margin of 0.5%. Revenue declined 69.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 2.8%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 34.9B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 6.99 TWD (bear case) to 11.65 TWD (bull case); at 16.40 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 38% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 1% fair-value upside, at -43%, 2905 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 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based (33.54 TWD) versus Multiples (9.32 TWD). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
