<li>We had a call with Fitipower management to understand the company’s latest situation in light of its weak share price and light analyst coverage. </li>
<li>Compared to the overall semiconductor industry, Fitipower’s inventory status is exceptionally better than the industry median and thus the company will be under less pressure in the coming quarters.</li>
<li>Fitipower has a large T$12bn net cash position, equivalent to 48% of its market cap. For 2022E, we expect T$4.5-5bn in EBITDA, which is about 18-20% of its market cap.</li>
