Analysis
Guangzhou Port Company (601228) currently trades at ¥3.03, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥2.16, implying the stock looks roughly 28.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 45/100 (below-average 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: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, Guangzhou Port Company generated revenue of 13.5B CNY at a net margin of 5.9%. Revenue declined 12.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 4.2%. Net debt stands at 11.5B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 10, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥1.72 (bear case) to ¥2.86 (bull case); at ¥3.03, 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 20% 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 67% fair-value upside, at -29%, 601228 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 16 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (¥2.24) versus Earnings-Based (¥0.7700). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
