What the Numbers Say It Is Worth
The Fair Value Range
Our framework reads OVERVALUED: it trades at roughly a 4% discount to our $47.80 fair value, 5.80% revenue growth.
Fair value range in USD, drawn from the 2026-09-09 screen. The gold marker is the market price at the same screen. A 4.0% margin of safety to the base estimate.
Third-party analyst targets: 22 covering, consensus Buy. The average target sits +60% from the screen price.

The Business, in Plain Words
Chip Foundry Price Exceeds Fair Value
Every new phone and electric car still needs chips made somewhere, yet this foundry’s modest 3 percent revenue growth sits behind a 22.8 times forward multiple. Our fair value sits 12 percent lower than the current price, so the shares offer no margin of safety. We pass.
Profit margins of 11 percent and a 7 percent return on equity look ordinary in a business that rises and falls with every tech cycle. Low multiples in cyclical sectors often flag peak earnings rather than bargains, and here the multiple is not low. Analyst targets near 80 dollars overlook that pattern.
Capacity utilisation can fall fast when orders slow, and the sector has delivered painful drawdowns before. The ethical screen is clear but the valuation is not.
