Analysis

Wuhan Youji Holdings (2881) currently trades at HK$10.00, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$10.30, implying the stock looks roughly 3.0% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 31/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Wuhan Youji Holdings generated revenue of HK$2.7B at a net margin of 2.4%. Revenue declined 25.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.2%. Net debt stands at HK$1.3B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from HK$9.65 (bear case) to HK$11.04 (bull case); at HK$10.00, the current price sits within 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 23% below its 52-week high and 123% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -60% fair-value upside, at 3%, 2881 screens cheaper 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
