Fair value as of: Jul 7, 2026

From 2 valuation models · updated 34 days ago

Fair value updated Jul 7, 2026, revised from HK$33.62 to HK$33.90 (+0.8%) since Jul 2, 2026. Share price +2.3% over the past month.

Below-average quality, screening 103% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (43/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (HK$25.42). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Huatai Securities Co (6886) currently trades at HK$16.69, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$33.90, implying the stock looks roughly 103.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bull case: trading below our estimate, it may offer upside if the fundamentals hold. Bear case: a low price can be a value trap when quality is weak or the data is thin (evidence: high), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Huatai Securities Co generated revenue of HK$39.5B at a net margin of 44.4%. Revenue grew 45.0% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.6%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$210B. Fundamentals as of Jul 7, 2026

Our scenario range runs from HK$25.42 (bear case) to HK$42.37 (bull case); at HK$16.69, the current price sits below 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 23% below its 52-week high and 13% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at 103%, 6886 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.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence
