Analysis

XAC Automation Corporation (5490) currently trades at 31.40 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 21.46 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 31.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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, XAC Automation Corporation generated revenue of 1.6B TWD at a net margin of 9.9%. Revenue grew 4.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.2%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 17.6. Fundamentals as of Jul 21, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 17.98 TWD (bear case) to 33.40 TWD (bull case); at 31.40 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 16% below its 52-week high and 29% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -57% fair-value upside, at -32%, 5490 screens cheaper 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.

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
