Analysis

Sterling Group Holdings Ltd (1825) currently trades at HK$5.69, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$2.10, implying the stock looks roughly 63.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 42/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Sterling Group Holdings Ltd generated revenue of HK$383M at a net margin of -4.4%. Revenue declined 34.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -59.0%. Net debt stands at HK$94.6M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from HK$1.84 (bear case) to HK$2.33 (bull case); at HK$5.69, 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. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at 27% fair-value upside, at -63%, 1825 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
