Analysis

Castles Technology Co Ltd (5258) currently trades at 45.75 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 118.77 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 61.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of 160.03 TWD per share, and 22 of the 26 models we run sit above the 45.75 TWD price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 27.91 TWD, and 4 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Castles Technology Co Ltd generated revenue of 7.9B TWD at a net margin of 4.7%. Revenue grew 1.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.6%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 480M TWD. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 89.08 TWD (bear case) to 148.47 TWD (bull case); at 45.75 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 45% below its 52-week high and 4% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −62% fair-value upside, at 160%, 5258 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 2.18 TWD per share, which is 1.8 % 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

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
