Theme Valuation Map
Each bubble is a theme: the horizontal axis is median P/E (cheapness), the vertical axis median Piotroski F-score (fundamental quality). Top-left is cheap and high quality, bottom-right is expensive and weak.

Model Confidence Gauge
“Coverage” is how many companies a model could value; “Agreement” is how close the model’s fair value sits to the blended median. Higher on both means a more dependable model.

Datafin’s View
Semiconductor multiples swing hard with the cycle; the goal here is to flag names that look cheap on durable earnings, not just peak ones.
Comparing multiples inside one theme is cleaner than across unrelated sectors, because every name here shares the same cyclical weather.
This analysis is for informational purposes only and is not investment advice; it is a repeatable research starting point using the same rules.
How to Read the Models
The multiple models (P/E, EV/EBITDA, P/S) value each company at the theme peer-median multiple, so the fair value reflects cheap/expensive relative to peers.
The intrinsic models (Owner Earnings, FCF Yield) give an absolute reference based on cash and earnings power, independent of peers.
“Blended FV” is the median across these models; “Upside” is the gap to the current price.

Methodology
P/E (peer median)Values the company at the theme-median price/earnings multiple.
EV/EBITDA (peer median)Values the company at the theme-median EV/EBITDA multiple, net of debt.
P/S (peer median)Values the company at the theme-median price/sales multiple.
Owner EarningsBuffett owner-earnings: net income + depreciation − capex, capitalised.
FCF YieldCapitalises free cash flow per share at a target yield.
