How Taiwan scores

Where the top 25 come from, and how the whole Taiwan market sits against the global universe. StockRank is a global percentile, so the universe splits evenly into five bands by construction; a market that piles up on the right is scoring well as a whole.

The Ecosystem Behind TSMC

Taiwan is the indispensable node of the global technology supply chain, and its stock market is far more than TSMC. Around the foundry giant sits an entire listed ecosystem of chip designers, packagers, substrate makers, server assemblers and component specialists that the AI capex cycle runs through. The list below is where the factors line up.

MoatMap scored 1,455 Taiwan stocks on 2026-10-01; 722 cleared the $250M market-cap floor this list applies. The market's average StockRank is 53. Technology is the most represented sector in the top 10 (3 names).

Taiwan's advantage is clustered depth: no other market lists as complete a semiconductor and hardware supply chain, from IC design houses through packaging-and-test to the ODMs that build the world's servers and laptops. When global AI infrastructure spending accelerates, the revenue flows through dozens of Taiwanese mid-caps, many of which trade at a fraction of the multiples awarded to their US customers for the same exposure.

The market has a distinctive shareholder culture: Taiwanese companies pay generous cash dividends (the market yield consistently ranks among Asia's highest), retail participation is enormous, and disclosure is strong. Insiders must pre-declare share transfers before executing them, a regime stricter than most developed markets, and MoatMap tracks those pre-declarations plus treasury-stock buyback programmes.

The overhang, of course, is geopolitical: cross-strait risk is the permanent discount factor on Taiwanese multiples, and it is not diversifiable within the market. The pragmatic approach mirrors China A-shares: treat country exposure as a deliberate sizing decision, and let the screen do its work within that allocation. The compensation for bearing the risk is owning the world's most strategically important industrial cluster at a discount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top-ranked Taiwan stocks right now?
The table above ranks MoatMap's top 25 Taiwan-listed stocks (TWSE .TW / TPEx .TWO) by StockRank, a composite of Quality, Value and Momentum percentiles. It refreshes monthly with a stated data date.
Is there any point buying Taiwan stocks other than TSMC?
That's where most of the opportunity is. TSMC is heavily analysed and also available as a US ADR; the surrounding ecosystem (IC designers, packaging/test houses, substrate and component makers, server ODMs) carries similar end-market exposure with far thinner coverage and often cheaper multiples. The screen exists to work through exactly that tail.
How do foreigners buy Taiwanese stocks?
Direct TWSE/TPEx access is available through the larger international brokers, though it involves more setup than most markets; a handful of large caps (TSMC, UMC, ASE, Chunghwa) trade as US ADRs. For the mid-cap ecosystem names, direct access is usually the only route.
What do Taiwan's insider rules disclose?
Taiwanese insiders must pre-declare intended share transfers before executing them, a forward-looking disclosure stricter than the after-the-fact filing most markets use. MoatMap ingests these pre-declarations (flagged as intent, not executions) along with company treasury-stock buyback programmes.
How often does this Taiwan ranking refresh?
A new edition forms on the first scoring run of each calendar month and the page states its data-as-of date. For a daily view, use the ranked-stocks screener filtered to Taiwan.
