Analysis

China Tourism Group (601888) currently trades at ¥55.56, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥40.40, implying the stock looks roughly 27.3% overvalued today. We read business quality at 58/100 (solid quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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, China Tourism Group generated revenue of 53.9B CNY at a net margin of 7.4%. Revenue grew 1.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 29.7B CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥30.30 (bear case) to ¥50.51 (bull case); at ¥55.56, 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 2% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -26% fair-value upside, at -27%, 601888 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.
