Over the trailing twelve months, North Chemical Industries Co generated revenue of 2.8B CNY at a net margin of 10.8%. Revenue grew 17.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 1.3B CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥6.11 (bear case) to ¥10.18 (bull case); at ¥19.88, 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 28% below its 52-week high and 57% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at -59%, 002246 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 26 models by family
