What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide (¥22.00 to ¥62.18). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (52/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Spring Airlines Co (601021) currently trades at ¥45.67, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥37.73, implying the stock looks roughly 17.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials 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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Spring Airlines Co generated revenue of 22.2B CNY at a net margin of 11.8%. Revenue grew 14.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 14.4%. Net debt stands at 5.2B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 8, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥22.00 (bear case) to ¥62.18 (bull case); at ¥45.67, 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 24% below its 52-week high and 6% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 40% fair-value upside, at -17%, 601021 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.
