Fair value as of: Aug 5, 2026

From 2 valuation models · updated today

Fair value updated Aug 5, 2026, revised from HK$0.2900 to HK$2.27 (+682.8%) since Jul 2, 2026. Share price −9.0% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 45% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (HK$2.98). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (26/100) 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$1.57 to HK$2.98) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Guan Chao Holdings (1872) currently trades at HK$4.14, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$2.27, implying the stock looks roughly 45.2% overvalued today. We read business quality at 26/100 (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: low).

Over the trailing twelve months, Guan Chao Holdings generated revenue of HK$328M at a net margin of -2.5%. Revenue grew 69.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -5.1%. Net debt stands at HK$48.1M. Fundamentals as of Aug 5, 2026

Our scenario range runs from HK$1.57 (bear case) to HK$2.98 (bull case); at HK$4.14, the current price sits above that range. The share trades about 55% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -14% fair-value upside, at -45%, 1872 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.
