Perfect Corp. (PERF): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Technology · Software - Application · Taiwan · High Growth
Is PERF undervalued?
Perfect Corp. (PERF) closed at 1.94 on 16 Oct 2026, close to the GLS average fair value of 1.91 (1.8% above fair value). 3 of the 7 models that produced a number sit above the price, 4 below - the market and our models roughly agree. With little margin of safety either way, the case for or against the stock rests on the quality numbers and the option premium rather than on price.
There is a wide gap between Lynch (0.2346) and Payback Time (4.11). When the models are this far apart the "fair value" is really a range, and the margin of safety above should be read with that range in mind.
The nightly engine files PERF under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.
Nine valuation models for PERF
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. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.

| Lynch | 0.2346 | -88% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 3.59 | +85% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 2.37 | +22% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |

Quality and financial health
Perfect Corp. scores 7 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, the nine yes/no tests of profitability, leverage and efficiency on the latest annual accounts - a strong reading that passes the Sunday Scan's "6 or more" rule with room to spare. A GLS Moat score of 2.6/10 is a weak reading: the ten-year history the score grades (revenue, EPS, book value, margins, cash flow, share count, ROIC) has not been steady, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC 3.0%, ROE 3.0%, ROA 2.4% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 5.2%.
Perfect 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 | 3.0% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.6 / 10 | ROE | 3.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | 2.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 5.2% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 1 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 39: No options
No options are listed on Perfect Corp. in our nightly snapshot. The Wheel Score is therefore capped at 39 (it reads 39) and the stock is left out of every options screen; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 258k shares a day on a market cap of $198M, with a beta of 0.30 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 9 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 12 / 25 | -2% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 4 / 15 | moat 2.6/10 | |
| Premium | 0 / 20 | no option data | |
| Stability | 9 / 20 | 258k shares/day, $198M cap, beta 0.30 |
