Analysis
The Bank of East Asia, Limited (0023) currently trades at HK$16.51, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$17.21, implying the stock looks roughly 4.2% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, The Bank of East Asia, Limited generated revenue of HK$15.4B at a net margin of 22.8%. Revenue declined 3.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$24.6B. Fundamentals as of Aug 2, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$12.91 (bear case) to HK$21.52 (bull case); at HK$16.51, the current price sits within 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 near its 52-week high and 44% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at 4%, 0023 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 6 models by family
