Analysis
Symtek Automation Asia Co (6438) currently trades at 147.00 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 101.52 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 30.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average 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, Symtek Automation Asia Co generated revenue of 6.7B TWD at a net margin of 6.7%. Revenue grew 12.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 1.0B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 23, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 71.06 TWD (bear case) to 131.97 TWD (bull case); at 147.00 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 29% below its 52-week high and 29% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -48% fair-value upside, at -31%, 6438 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.
All 17 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (101.52 TWD) versus DCF Models (20.75 TWD). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
