Analysis

Ningbo Gaofa Automotive Control System Co (603788) currently trades at ¥14.08, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥12.78, implying the stock looks roughly 9.2% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (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: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, Ningbo Gaofa Automotive Control System Co generated revenue of 1.6B CNY at a net margin of 13.9%. Revenue declined 5.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 50.8M CNY. Fundamentals as of Jul 11, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥8.65 (bear case) to ¥20.60 (bull case); at ¥14.08, 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 25% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -44% fair-value upside, at -9%, 603788 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.
