ThesisStreet consensus, scenarios, merits, risks, and invalidation triggers Thesis Summary Perfect Corp. is a global leader in AI and AR-powered SaaS solutions for the beauty and fashion industries. The company is currently at a critical juncture following a preliminary, non-binding 'going-private' proposal received on March 18, 2026, from a consortium led by Founder and CEO Alice H. Chang and CyberLink International Technology Corp. The offer of US$1.95 per share in cash represents a significant premium over historical trading levels and is supported by the consortium's 81.2% voting power. Operationally, the company continues to show strong top-line growth (up 12% YoY in Q1 2026) and robust gross margins (81.9% in Q1 2026), backed by a cash-rich balance sheet with no debt. However, headwinds in B2C subscriber counts and cautious B2B enterprise spending limit standalone upside, making the go-private proposal the primary catalyst for valuation. A 'Hold' recommendation is advised as the Special Committee evaluates the transaction. This section is the 12-month view: analyst targets and the probability-weighted scenarios built from them. The intrinsic value at the top of this page answers a different question: what the business is worth today. Street view · analyst 12-month targets Low · most bearish analyst$1.95 Mean target$2.98 High · most bullish analyst$5.00 Our research · scenarios, merits, risks, and invalidation triggersResearch as of 20 Jun 2026 Scenarios · 12-month scenario targets Bear CaseDownside scenario $1.35 The going-private proposal falls through due to financing issues or failure to reach definitive agreements, causing the stock to fall back to its pre-proposal trading range (~US$1.35). Standalone performance is pressured by accelerating B2C subscriber churn and prolonged enterprise sales cycles. Base CaseCentral scenario $1.95 The going-private transaction is consummated at or near the proposed price of US$1.95 per share. Standalone operations track management's FY 2026 guidance of ~10% revenue growth, with high gross margins offsetting moderate B2C subscriber declines through higher average selling prices. Bull CaseUpside scenario $2.15 The Special Committee successfully negotiates a higher buyout price above the initial US$1.95 proposal, or a competing bidder emerges, unlocking immediate cash value for minority shareholders. Operationally, rapid adoption of newly launched Generative AI and Agentic AI tools drives a re-acceleration in B2B contract signings and stabilizes B2C subscriber counts. Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale. Key Investment Merits
