What matters now
The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (¥5.78). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
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 but not exceptional quality (60/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

How to read this chart
60‑month range ¥12.10 – ¥65.01 · fair‑value band ¥3.46 – ¥5.78 · the ¥19.40 price screens above the ¥4.62 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 13, 2026.
Huabao Flavours & Fragrances Co Ltd Class A (300741) currently trades at ¥19.40, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥4.62, implying the stock looks roughly 320.2% overvalued today.

Scenario range: ¥3.46 (bear) to ¥5.78 (bull), the price of ¥19.40 sits above it. Bear and bull are the same models on cautious and optimistic assumptions, a range, not a price target.
