What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($87.71). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • The model range is unusually wide ($25.76 to $87.71). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (67/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Silicon Motion Technology (SIMO) currently trades at $235.70, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $55.91, implying the stock looks roughly 321.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 67/100 (solid quality), in the Technology sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of $96.67 per share, and 0 of the 25 models we run sit above the $235.70 price. Bear case: the Growth DCF group reads lowest at $11.03, and 25 of the 25 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.

Over the trailing twelve months, Silicon Motion Technology generated revenue of $1.1B at a net margin of 16.0%. Revenue grew 105.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $202M. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $25.76 (bear case) to $87.71 (bull case); at $235.70, 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 34% below its 52-week high and 242% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −59% fair-value upside, at −76%, SIMO 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 $2.07 per share, which is 3.7 % 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.

Note: the current price implies far more future growth than the conservative anchors of our models allow (base growth is deliberately capped, we do not regard such extreme rates as sustainable). Our models are not designed for expectations this high; that is why the individual models scatter extremely ($10.85 to $139.41). Read the values as a conservative anchor, not as a price target.
Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

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.
