Analysis
China Nonferrous Mining Corp Ltd (1258) currently trades at HK$17.49, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$1.76, implying the stock looks roughly 89.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 68/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, China Nonferrous Mining Corp Ltd generated revenue of HK$3.4B at a net margin of 11.8%. Revenue declined 7.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 18.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$1.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$1.32 (bear case) to HK$2.20 (bull case); at HK$17.49, 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 6% below its 52-week high and 161% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -45% fair-value upside, at -90%, 1258 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.
All 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (HK$2.70) versus Asset-Based (HK$0.4300). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 70 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 71
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
