Fair value as of: Jul 24, 2026
From 3 valuation models · updated 18 days ago
Share price +8.2% over the past month.
Below-average quality, and screening another 49% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($2.52). 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 (48/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- A fairly wide model range ($1.33 to $2.52) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

How to read this chart
60‑month range $2.27 – $25.91 · fair‑value band $1.33 – $2.52 · the $3.98 price screens above the $2.02 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 24, 2026.
Analysis
Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation (MX) currently trades at $3.98, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2.02, implying the stock looks roughly 49.3% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (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, Magnachip Semiconductor Corporation generated revenue of $180M at a net margin of -14.1%. Revenue grew 3.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -5.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $57.0M. Fundamentals as of Jul 24, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $1.33 (bear case) to $2.52 (bull case); at $3.98, 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 60% below its 52-week high and 83% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -67% fair-value upside, at -49%, MX 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 ($4.56) versus Dividend Discount ($0.1000). Highest evidence: Gordon GGM (70).

How we calculate Fair Value
Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
