Analysis
Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co (601231) currently trades at ¥27.52, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥15.52, implying the stock looks roughly 43.6% overvalued today.

Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Universal Scientific Industrial (Shanghai) Co generated revenue of 58.9B CNY at a net margin of 3.3%. Revenue declined 2.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 7.7B CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 19, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥11.64 (bear case) to ¥19.40 (bull case); at ¥27.52, 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 44% below its 52-week high and 99% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -73% fair-value upside, at -44%, 601231 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
