Analysis
Oriental Media Group (0018) currently trades at HK$0.2360, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$0.1200, implying the stock looks roughly 49.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Oriental Media Group generated revenue of HK$496M at a net margin of 2.7%. Revenue declined 10.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 0.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$549M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$0.0900 (bear case) to HK$0.1500 (bull case); at HK$0.2360, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 37% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 10% fair-value upside, at -49%, 0018 screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 21 models by family
