Another view on ROHM’s valuation

The narrative around ROHM leans on a fair value of ¥5,590, but the current share price of ¥4,785 tells only part of the story. On simple sales based metrics, ROHM trades on a P/S of 3.8x, compared with 3.2x for the JP Semiconductor industry, 2.9x for peers, and a fair ratio of 3.5x.

That gap suggests investors today are paying a richer price than both peers and the fair ratio, which could leave less room for error if the earnings recovery or SiC ramp takes longer than expected. Does that premium feel justified to you given ROHM’s current losses and forecast rebound?
