What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (9.04 TWD). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- 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 but not exceptional quality (45/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range (4.52 TWD to 9.04 TWD) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 22, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range 11.00 TWD – 97.60 TWD · fair‑value band 4.52 TWD – 9.04 TWD · the 15.25 TWD price screens above the 6.06 TWD fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 22, 2026.
Analysis
Forward Electronics Co., Ltd. (8085) currently trades at 15.25 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 6.06 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 60.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology 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: low).
Over the trailing twelve months, Forward Electronics Co., Ltd. generated revenue of 676M TWD at a net margin of -18.8%. Revenue grew 11.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -9.0%. Net debt stands at 313M TWD. Fundamentals as of Aug 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 4.52 TWD (bear case) to 9.04 TWD (bull case); at 15.25 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 37% below its 52-week high and 40% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -66% fair-value upside, at -60%, 8085 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 3 models by family
Widest divergence: Asset-Based (6.06 TWD) versus Dividend Discount (0.8400 TWD). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 42 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 41
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
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.
