Analysis
Lotus Holdings (600186) currently trades at ¥9.89, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥3.47, implying the stock looks roughly 64.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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, Lotus Holdings generated revenue of 3.7B CNY at a net margin of 9.6%. Revenue grew 28.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 1.1B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 6, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥2.53 (bear case) to ¥4.53 (bull case); at ¥9.89, 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 28% below its 52-week high and 88% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at -65%, 600186 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.
All 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (¥3.62) versus Dividend Discount (¥0.2400). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
