Analysis

Chacha Food Company (002557) currently trades at ¥19.36, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥21.20, implying the stock looks roughly 9.5% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, Chacha Food Company generated revenue of 7.2B CNY at a net margin of 5.7%. Revenue grew 41.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 2.4B CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 22, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥15.70 (bear case) to ¥27.58 (bull case); at ¥19.36, 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 about 22% below its 52-week high and 2% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at 10%, 002557 screens cheaper 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.
