Analysis
Lier Chemical Co (002258) currently trades at ¥14.09, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥10.17, implying the stock looks roughly 27.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Lier Chemical Co generated revenue of 9.2B CNY at a net margin of 4.8%. Revenue grew 10.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.7%. Net debt stands at 1.4B CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥7.63 (bear case) to ¥12.71 (bull case); at ¥14.09, 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 21% below its 52-week high and 38% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -13% fair-value upside, at -28%, 002258 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.
