What matters now

Analysis
China Energy Engineering Corp (3996) currently trades at HK$1.06, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$2.22, implying the stock looks roughly 110.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 41/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials 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, China Energy Engineering Corp generated revenue of HK$455B at a net margin of 1.3%. Revenue grew 1.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.4%. Net debt stands at HK$265B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$1.74 (bear case) to HK$2.89 (bull case); at HK$1.06, the current price sits below 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 46% below its 52-week high and 2% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -34% fair-value upside, at 110%, 3996 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.
All 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (HK$2.32) versus Economic Profit (HK$0.0600). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
