Fair value as of: Aug 5, 2026

From 1 valuation models · updated today

Fair value updated Aug 5, 2026, revised from HK$7.36 to HK$7.33 (−0.4%) since Jul 2, 2026. Share price +2.6% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 64% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (HK$9.16). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (34/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • A fairly wide model range (HK$4.84 to HK$9.16) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

We read business quality at 34/100 (below-average quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations.

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.
