Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026

From 6 valuation models · updated 2 days ago

Share price +14.3% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 57% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (HK$0.1700). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (44/100) 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$0.0700 to HK$0.1700) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

China New Energy Limited (1156) currently trades at HK$0.2800, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$0.1200, implying the stock looks roughly 57.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (below-average quality), in the Energy sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, China New Energy Limited generated revenue of HK$85.9M at a net margin of -30.7%. Revenue grew 27.6% year over year. Net debt stands at HK$24.4M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from HK$0.0700 (bear case) to HK$0.1700 (bull case); at HK$0.2800, the current price sits above 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 2% below its 52-week high and 222% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -40% fair-value upside, at -57%, 1156 screens richer 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.

Model 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. Evidence
