Fair Value models
The price assumes far more growth than our models allow for, so the models scatter widely (¥0.8900 to ¥9.93). Read the Fair Value as a cautious anchor, not a price target; the Growth Forecast section shows what the price assumes.
Bear¥5.42Fair Value ¥6.72Bull¥10.36
Price ¥18.78 · Downside -64.2%
Model ⓘEach model values the company its own way (discounted cash flow, earnings, assets, dividends). The fair value above starts from their evidence-weighted blend, not from a single model. In cyclical trough or peak years, after dilution or a stock split it is adjusted afterwards, so it can sit above or below the models. Based on fiscal year 2025 figures (about 10 months old). Earnings retained since then (¥0.7157 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.Coverage ⓘCoverage = 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.
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.62/100

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.

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.13.8% vs 27.2%, 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.67% → 87%
AI conclusion: The business benefits from strong brokerage-driven revenue and profit growth yet remains vulnerable due to negative cash flows and high debt.
Main risk: Platforms such as Ant Fortune could capture more entry-level retail investors through payment platform distribution and thereby reduce East Money's market share in fund distribution and brokerage services.
Bull case: East Money could strengthen its closed-loop platform with its Miaoxiang AI model and retain users against rivals by offering superior integrated data, brokerage and advisory services.
Bear case: If Ant Fortune and similar platforms gain further ground and fee regulations tighten, East Money could lose significant share in retail brokerage and fund distribution, leaving its commission-heavy model exposed.
East Money has delivered strong first-half revenue and profit growth, fueled by higher securities fees from its brokerage business. Its capital markets activities also include financial data and fund distribution, but earnings stay closely linked to trading volumes. Will growth in the data services side provide more stability than the commission-heavy core, or will market swings continue to dominate results?
