Analysis

Hengtong Logistics Co (603223) currently trades at ¥10.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥5.28, implying the stock looks roughly 51.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (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: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Hengtong Logistics Co generated revenue of 1.4B CNY at a net margin of 22.9%. Revenue grew 7.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 1.0B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 10, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥3.96 (bear case) to ¥6.60 (bull case); at ¥10.94, 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 9% below its 52-week high and 35% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at -70% fair-value upside, at -52%, 603223 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.
