Analysis

Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp (002166) currently trades at ¥6.77, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥4.05, implying the stock looks roughly 40.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, Guilin Layn Natural Ingredients Corp generated revenue of 2.0B CNY at a net margin of 7.6%. Revenue grew 0.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.0%. Net debt stands at 653M CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥3.04 (bear case) to ¥5.07 (bull case); at ¥6.77, 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 35% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at 102% fair-value upside, at -40%, 002166 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.
