Analysis
Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc (KLIC) currently trades at $95.80, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $17.64, implying the stock looks roughly 81.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 76/100 (high 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: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Kulicke and Soffa Industries, Inc generated revenue of $768M at a net margin of 7.2%. Revenue grew 49.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $177M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $15.60 (bear case) to $17.64 (bull case); at $95.80, 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 14% below its 52-week high and 210% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -72% fair-value upside, at -82%, KLIC screens richer 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 22 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth DCF ($29.88) versus Earnings-Based ($0.0200). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
