Analysis

Chongqing Iron & Steel Company (601005) currently trades at ¥1.20, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥1.70, implying the stock looks roughly 41.7% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 46/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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, Chongqing Iron & Steel Company generated revenue of 22.3B CNY at a net margin of -12.6%. Revenue declined 26.1% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -18.6%. Net debt stands at 790M CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 8, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥1.25 (bear case) to ¥2.15 (bull case); at ¥1.20, 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 33% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -7% fair-value upside, at 42%, 601005 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.
