Fair Value models

Bear HK$2.04 Fair Value HK$4.14 Bull HK$7.57

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 2025 figures (about 9 months old). Earnings retained since then (HK$0.0727 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. 72/100

Revenue is growing, but margins or cash flow do not fully confirm the trend.

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.

−0.3%

Revenue growth 5 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.

Revenue growth 20 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.

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.

+4.6%

Earnings growth per share plus dividend.

Earnings per share, growth per year−3.5%

Dividend (yield on the price)8.1%

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.−3.5% vs 7.3%, slowing

Profit margin 2020 to 2025 ⓘ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.30% → 31%

Start year 2020 (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).

+17.8%

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

What forecasts expect

n/a

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 +15.3% a year for the price.

Over the last 5 years revenue grew -1.1 % per year. As of Sep 28, 2026.

What discount rate (WACC) does the fair value of 1857 use?

Our models discount China Everbright Water Ltd at 10.3 %: a base by market capitalisation (small), damped by beta 0.40, 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 Everbright Water Ltd that is +17.8 % 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 Everbright Water Ltd (1857) delivered so far?

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 Everbright Water Ltd (1857) growing?

The median revenue growth in the sector is +3.2 % a year. That is the yardstick for the growth priced into China Everbright Water Ltd (+17.8 % 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 Everbright Water Ltd (1857)?

The free-cash-flow yield on the price is 17.80 %: that much free cash flow China Everbright Water 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 Everbright Water Ltd (1857)?

Intrinsic value and fair value mean the same thing: what the business is worth on its numbers, independent of the share price. For China Everbright Water Ltd it is HK$4.14 per share (as of Sep 28, 2026), against a price of HK$1.29. It is the blended result of 26 valuation models (cash flow, earnings, asset, dividend).

Is China Everbright Water Ltd stock overvalued or undervalued in 2026?

Is fair value the same as the market price of 1857?

No. The price is what the market pays today (HK$1.29); the fair value is what the company's own numbers justify (HK$4.14). For China Everbright Water Ltd the two are HK$2.86 per share apart. That gap is exactly why we show both numbers side by side.

What is the P/E ratio of 1857?

China Everbright Water Ltd trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 4.5 (as of Sep 28, 2026). A P/E on its own says little: it compares the price with ONE year of profit, while our fair value of HK$4.14 is built from several models across several years.

Is it still worth investing in stocks now?

China Everbright Water Ltd currently trades 69 % 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. The full picture including sectors is on is it worth investing now.

What is the share price of China Everbright Water Ltd (1857)?

The closing price on Oct 2, 2026 was HK$1.29. Our model-based fair value is HK$4.14, about +222% upside (undervalued). We carry closing prices from our data provider, not a live tick.

What should I pay attention to with China Everbright Water Ltd right now?

The price is below even our cautious bear case (HK$2.04). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario. The model range is unusually wide (HK$2.04 to HK$7.57). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution. The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution. Solid quality (56/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
