Analysis

Weak and unloved

Walsin Lihwa Corporation scores below average on quality and is priced accordingly, a low-conviction position in either direction.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 52.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 6/20 on our value-creation score: not creating value.

Flags to be aware of: The financial cushion is thinner than comfortable. Reported profits have run ahead of actual cash for several periods. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
