Analysis
Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co (600618) currently trades at ¥10.39, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥10.37, implying the stock looks roughly 0.2% fairly valued today.

Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Shanghai Chlor-Alkali Chemical Co generated revenue of 8.1B CNY at a net margin of 10.3%. Revenue grew 15.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 2.1B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 9, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥6.80 (bear case) to ¥14.47 (bull case); at ¥10.39, the current price sits within 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 43% below its 52-week high and 14% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -46% fair-value upside, at 0%, 600618 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 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (¥11.58) versus Dividend Discount (¥3.37). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
