What matters now
- Weak quality (36/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
- A fairly wide model range (10.25 TWD to 21.09 TWD) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
- Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 30, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range 12.98 TWD – 30.04 TWD · fair‑value band 10.25 TWD – 21.09 TWD · the 20.45 TWD price screens above the 14.65 TWD fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 30, 2026.
Analysis
China Airlines Ltd (2610) currently trades at 20.45 TWD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 14.65 TWD, implying the stock looks roughly 39.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 36/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of 41.85 TWD per share, and 11 of the 15 models we run sit above the 20.45 TWD price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at 10.75 TWD, and 4 of the 15 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.
Over the trailing twelve months, China Airlines Ltd generated revenue of 213B TWD at a net margin of 7.4%. Revenue grew 8.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 17.1%. Net debt stands at 52.1B TWD. Fundamentals as of Aug 30, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 10.25 TWD (bear case) to 21.09 TWD (bull case); at 20.45 TWD, the current price sits within 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 13% below its 52-week high and 16% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 45% fair-value upside, at −28%, 2610 screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly 1.06 TWD per share, which is 7.2 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 15 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (41.85 TWD) versus Asset-Based (10.75 TWD). Highest evidence: EPV (74).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 39 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 55
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
