4904:TWSEFar Eastone Telecommunications Co., Ltd. Analysis

Far EasTone (4904.TW) is trading at TWD 105, just above its 50‑day (≈100.4) and 200‑day (≈93.0) simple moving averages but slightly below the 20‑day SMA of 106.6, indicating a short‑term pullback within a longer‑term uptrend. The RSI sits at 52.6, suggesting neutral momentum, while the MACD shows a bearish histogram (‑0.89) and a signal line above the MACD line, hinting at possible downside pressure. Volume has been increasing, supporting the current price action. The stock’s beta is essentially flat (‑0.02), meaning it moves little with the broader market, yet 30‑day volatility is high at ~24.8%, reflecting sizable price swings. The company posted record quarterly revenue driven by 5G and Smart ICT initiatives, with revenue growth of 4% YoY.
Extreme Greed on the Fear & Greed index (93) signals strong market enthusiasm, but the valuation appears stretched: a trailing P/E of 27.6 far exceeds the telecom industry average of 16.7 and the DCF fair value of ~96.7 TWD, implying a modest downside of about 2%. The price‑to‑book ratio of 3.95 and a payout ratio of 94% further signal limited headroom despite an attractive dividend yield of 3.7%. Cash generation remains strong, with free cash flow exceeding TWD 24 bn and a moderate debt‑to‑equity of 46.7%.
