Analysis
QST International Corp (8349) currently trades at 39.75 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 29.43 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 26.0% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 21/100 (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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, QST International Corp generated revenue of 11.5B TWD at a net margin of 3.8%. Revenue grew 1.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.9%. Net debt stands at 8.9B TWD. Fundamentals as of Jul 23, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 22.07 TWD (bear case) to 36.78 TWD (bull case); at 39.75 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 19% 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 -26% fair-value upside, at -26%, 8349 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.
