Analysis
China Everbright Environment Group (0257) currently trades at HK$4.96, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$9.36, implying the stock looks roughly 88.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: medium), always confirm before acting.
Over the trailing twelve months, China Everbright Environment Group generated revenue of HK$27.5B at a net margin of 14.3%. Revenue declined 9.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.5%. Net debt stands at HK$85.9B. Fundamentals as of Aug 2, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$7.13 (bear case) to HK$14.22 (bull case); at HK$4.96, the current price sits below 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 14% below its 52-week high and 33% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -40% fair-value upside, at 89%, 0257 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (HK$20.98) versus Dividend Discount (HK$3.86). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
