Fair Value models

Bear HK$7.12 Fair Value HK$7.31 Bull HK$13.64

Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above is their evidence-weighted blend, not the output of a single model. Based on fiscal year 2026 figures (about 6 months old). Earnings retained since then (HK$0.2106 per share) are deliberately not added. Bear ⓘBear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull ⓘBull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. If a model's bull case is above four times its base value, the table shows that limit with a > sign (like the overall Bull above): beyond it no assumption holds. Evidence ⓘEvidence = how well-backed THIS model's estimate is for this stock (0–100): how complete and reliable its input data are, and how well the model fits the company. The final Fair Value is an evidence-weighted blend, so better-evidenced models count more. Green ≥70, amber 50–69, grey below 50.

Revenue & earnings trend

Growth Quality ⓘGrowth is valuable only when reinvestment earns attractive returns (Aswath Damodaran): sustainable growth depends on return on capital, reinvestment and efficiency. Basis: total company revenue over the periods shown on the cards (3Y/5Y/all years), not per share, so a merger can show up as a growth jump; per-share earnings growth is in the value-creation card. 25/100

Growth has flattened: the last year, three and five years all grew more slowly than the long-term average.

Revenue growth 3 years ⓘMeasures the company's TOTAL revenue from reported annual statements: compound average growth per year (CAGR) from the fiscal year 3, 5 or N years back to the most recent comparable fiscal year. Not per share: buybacks do not change this number, and a merger can appear as a growth jump. Per-share growth (which does include buybacks) is in the value-creation card.

What shareholders gained per year (last 5 years) ⓘWhat the business itself delivers per year: earnings growth per share plus the dividend yield. This is what you get IF the market keeps valuing the stock the same way: it contains no assumption about the market changing its mind. Computed per share, so buybacks count and a merger does not pass as growth. For a company that pays no dividend it is pure earnings growth per share. Period: earnings growth per share as CAGR over the last 5 reported fiscal years (annual statements), plus the current dividend yield. The start value is the median of the three years around the start, so a single crisis year (a pandemic or a write-down) does not distort the rate. Basis: EBIT basis.

−4.0%

Earnings growth per share plus dividend.

Earnings per share, growth per year−7.0%

Dividend (yield on the price)3.0%

Pace: 5 vs 10 years ⓘTwo data points, not a trend model: earnings growth per share over the last 5 fiscal years against the last 10. Labelled "steady" when both rates are within 3 percentage points of each other, otherwise picking up or flattening. Shown only when ten years of history exist.−10.7% vs 5.2%, slowing

Profit margin 2021 to 2026 ⓘOperating margin then vs now, from reported annual statements. A falling margin after a boom year is the classic peak-earnings signal: the growth rate then leans on an inflated base.36% → 26%

Start year 2021 (pandemic)

Growth Forecast

A lot of optimism in the price

The price assumes more growth than the company has delivered so far.

What the price assumes ⓘThis turns our valuation around: instead of asking what the share is worth, it asks what growth the current price requires. It uses the cash the company keeps after all spending (free cash flow), the same discount rate as our models, five years of growth, then slowing evenly to 2 % a year by year ten. Compared with the analysts' sales forecasts extended to the same five years (at least three analysts, for context only, it does not enter the Fair Value): within 3 percentage points counts as "in line" (amber), below that little optimism (green), above that a lot of optimism (red).

+56.4%

Yearly growth needed for the next five years to justify today's price.

What forecasts expect

No analyst forecast available.

After inflation (Hong Kong: IMF forecast 2.1% a year to 2030, 1.8% from 2016 to 2025) that is about +53.1% a year for the price.

Over the last 5 years revenue grew 0.0 % per year. As of Sep 27, 2026.

What discount rate (WACC) does the fair value of 0855 use?

Our models discount China Water Affairs Group Ltd at 10.3 %: a base by market capitalisation (small), damped by beta 0.48, country premium for Hong Kong. The same rate applies in all 26 models.

What is a reverse DCF?

A reverse DCF turns the usual calculation around. Instead of deriving a value from assumptions, it takes today's price as given and asks: what free-cash-flow growth would a company have to deliver for exactly this price to be fair? The result is not a forecast but the expectation already priced in. For China Water Affairs Group Ltd that is +56.4 % per year a year over ten years, using the same discount rate (10.3 %) and the same formula as our fair value.

How much growth has China Water Affairs Group Ltd (0855) delivered so far?

Over the past 5 years revenue at China Water Affairs Group Ltd grew 0.0 % a year. The price currently implies +56.4 % per year free-cash-flow growth a year. Comparing the two shows how much confidence is in the price: if it demands more than has been delivered, the business has to accelerate for the maths to work.

How fast is the sector of China Water Affairs Group Ltd (0855) growing?

The median revenue growth in the sector is +2.7 % a year. That is the yardstick for the growth priced into China Water Affairs Group Ltd (+56.4 % per year a year): it shows whether the expectation is within the usual range or beyond it.

What is the free cash flow yield of China Water Affairs Group Ltd (0855)?

The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 2.16 %: that much free cash flow China Water Affairs Group Ltd produces per unit of market value. When it exceeds the discount rate of our models (10.3 %), the business already earns more than its cost of capital demands, and the price needs little additional growth.

What is the intrinsic value of China Water Affairs Group Ltd (0855)?

Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For China Water Affairs Group Ltd it is HK$7.31 per share (as of Sep 27, 2026), against a price of HK$4.27. It is the blended result of 23 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).

Is fair value the same as the market price of 0855?

No. The price is what the market pays today (HK$4.27); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify (HK$7.31). For China Water Affairs Group Ltd the two are HK$3.05 per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.

What is the P/E ratio of 0855?

China Water Affairs Group Ltd trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 7.2 (as of Sep 27, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of HK$7.31 is built from several models across several years. Other multiples: PEG 0.4, P/B 0.5, P/S 0.7, EV/EBITDA 5.7.

What is the PEG ratio of 0855?

Is it still worth investing in stocks now?

The global stock market currently sits 14.9 % above its aggregate fair value. China Water Affairs Group Ltd currently trades 42 % below its own fair value, and the market average says nothing about that. An expensive market is no reason to stay out and no reason to buy everything at once: keep a broad savings plan running, buy single stocks only with money you can do without, and hold part of your money liquid while the market is high.
