FST Corp. (KBSX): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Consumer Cyclical · Leisure · Taiwan · High Growth
Is KBSX undervalued?
FST Corp. (KBSX) closed at 1.31 on 16 Oct 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 6 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 3.21, which puts the price 59% below it. 3 of the 6 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
The 6 models disagree widely: DCF gives 0.5776 while GLS Growth gives 7.03. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
The nightly engine files KBSX under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for KBSX
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 0.5776 | -56% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 0.9554 | -27% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 6.57 | +402% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 2.87 | +119% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 7.03 | +437% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | - | - | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend; no value tonight |
| EPV | 1.28 | -3% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -0.5099 | -139% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |

Quality and financial health
On financial health KBSX scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is low at 2.0 out of 10, which says the ten-year record of revenue, earnings, margins and returns on capital has been inconsistent - growth and shocks rather than steady compounding.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -3.3%, ROE -16.0%, ROA -2.5% - with debt at 3.79 times equity and negative free cash flow. Debt of 3.79 times equity is on the high side for the sector and is worth checking against the cash flow before treating the stock as a long-term hold.
FST Corp. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 1/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | -3.3% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.0 / 10 | ROE | -16.0% |
| Debt / equity | 3.79 | ROA | -2.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -0.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
KBSX has no listed options in the nightly snapshot, so there is nothing to sell and the stock cannot be wheeled however good the business; the Wheel Score is capped at 39 and shown as "No options" (39 here). The valuation and quality numbers still apply to owning the shares outright.
Volume runs at 1k shares a day on a market cap of $59M, with a beta of 0.39 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 6 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 59% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 3 / 15 | moat 2.0/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 6 / 20 | 1k shares/day, $59M cap, beta 0.39 |
