Analysis

Hangzhou Century Co (300078) currently trades at ¥3.04, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥0.3995, implying the stock looks roughly 86.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 47/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Hangzhou Century Co generated revenue of 366M CNY at a net margin of -15.5%. Revenue declined 77.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -11.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 149M CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 7, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥0.3145 (bear case) to ¥0.4845 (bull case); at ¥3.04, 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. The share trades about 54% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 10% fair-value upside, at -87%, 300078 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.
