What matters now
The model range is unusually wide (¥9.78 to ¥31.93). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
Solid but not exceptional quality (68/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range ¥3.61 – ¥28.80 · fair‑value band ¥9.78 – ¥31.93 · the ¥17.73 price screens above the ¥12.86 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Kingnet Network Co Ltd (002517) currently trades at ¥17.73, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥12.86, implying the stock looks roughly 37.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of ¥24.56 per share, and 11 of the 26 models we run sit above the ¥17.73 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at ¥1.61, and 15 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Kingnet Network Co Ltd generated revenue of 6.2B CNY at a net margin of 35.0%. Revenue grew 64.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 25.0%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 3.2B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Scenario range: ¥9.78 (bear) to ¥31.93 (bull), the price of ¥17.73 sits inside it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target. The share trades about 41% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −46% fair-value upside, at −27%, 002517 screens cheaper than that median.
