ROHM (TSE:6963) has quietly outperformed this year, with the stock up about 43% year to date and over 53% in the past year, even as longer term returns remain mixed.

See our latest analysis for ROHM.

With the share price now around ¥2,152.5 and a 1 month share price return of 8.4%, recent gains build on strong year to date momentum, even though the 3 year total shareholder return remains negative.

If ROHM’s run has you thinking about what else is moving in semiconductors and adjacent tech, this could be a good moment to explore high growth tech and AI stocks.

Yet with earnings rebounding, a modest discount to analyst targets, and longer term returns still underwhelming, should investors view ROHM as an overlooked value in semiconductors, or has the market already priced in its next leg of growth?

Most Popular Narrative: 2% Undervalued

With ROHM last closing at ¥2,152.5 against a narrative fair value near ¥2,204.6, the story leans toward modest upside driven by future profitability.

Significant cost reduction measures are being implemented, including a plan to decrease annual fixed costs by ¥20 to 30 billion over the next three years and increased outsourcing, which is expected to improve net margins and profitability.

Want to see how steady growth, margin rebuild, and a richer future earnings multiple combine into that valuation call? The underlying assumptions might surprise you.

Result: Fair Value of ¥2,204.55 (UNDERVALUED)

However, the narrative could be derailed if industrial demand keeps sliding or EV related SiC adoption slows, which would pressure both revenue growth and margin recovery.

Another View: Rich On Cash Flows

There is a catch. While the narrative fair value suggests ROHM is about 2% undervalued, our DCF model paints a very different picture, implying fair value near ¥753.8 versus a market price of ¥2,152.5, which looks significantly overvalued based on cash flow assumptions.
