What Topco Scientific does

Taiwan supplier of semiconductor process chemicals (CMP materials, specialty gases) plus quartz and wafer-related consumables.

Acts partly as an agent selling other firms' fab materials and equipment in Taiwan and partly as a manufacturer of its own quartz and carrier products, so reported revenue includes a lot of low-margin resale. Orders follow chip-fab construction and wafer starts.

In one line: A smaller Taiwan analogue to Entegris' semiconductor-materials business.

Products and services

  • CMP materials
  • Specialty gases & chemicals
  • Quartz wafers/crucibles/furnace parts
  • Wafer carriers & electronic materials

Customers

  • Semiconductor fabs (logic, memory)
  • LCD/LED/solar manufacturers
  • Packaging & test houses

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Semiconductors
  • Materials & consumables
  • Process chemicals & quartz components

What could go right

  • Semiconductor capex/wafer-start growth
  • Content growth per wafer (more process steps)

What could go wrong

  • Semiconductor cyclicality
  • Raw-material/chemical cost swings

Moat: narrow (process know-how, customer qualification). Materials must be qualified into fab processes; broad consumables portfolio built over decades of fab relationships.

Questions

Who are Topco Scientific's main competitors?
Named competitors: Entegris (ENTG), Fujimi Incorporated (5384.T). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Simmtech (222800.KS), Maxio Technology (Hangzhou) (688449.SS), Shanghai Bright Power Semiconductor (688368.SS), Leeno Industrial (058470.KS), Asmedia Technology (5269.TW), IPG Photonics (IPGP).
Is Topco Scientific expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 14.3× against a peer median of 28.0×, 5th cheapest of 20 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 4% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +13%, so the hurdle is -10 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Topco Scientific stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned +11.1% against -24.7% for the median peer; over one year +41.7%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
