  • Ferrotec Shares Look Overvalued Amid Capital Plan Shift Focused on Recycled Wafers
    June 21, 2026, 10:47 PM EDT. Ferrotec (TSE:6890) revised its capital increase plan for its recycled wafer subsidiary CRSM, spotlighting shifts in semiconductor materials investment. The stock has surged recently, with a 1-year total shareholder return near 300%. Despite this momentum, the share price trades at a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 35.4x, above the Japanese semiconductor industry average of 29.9x, signaling potentially rich valuation. Forecasts project earnings growth of 13.5% annually, but historical earnings declined over five years, and return on equity remains low. Additionally, a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation estimates a fair share value of ¥2,520, well below the current ¥10,470 price. This divergence suggests the market may be pricing in optimistic growth that carries significant downside risk if semiconductor spending slows.
