Win Semi Earnings: Pause in Smartphone Restocking Dampens Outlook; Shares Still Undervalued
We cut our fair value estimate on narrow-moat Win Semiconductors to TWD 202 from TWD 245, given disappointing management guidance for the third quarter and our expectation that expansion in Kaohsiung will be downsized in the long term. Despite this, Win Semi remains undervalued amid a boost to the smartphone outlook by a pipeline of artificial intelligence features, and structural growth demand for optical components. We view Win Semi’s more cautious approach to capital expenditure as buying time for repairing its balance sheet and better maneuvering future cycles.
