How to read this chart
60‑month range $0.7700 – $2.99 · fair‑value band $1.64 – $2.74 · the $2.32 price screens above the $2.19 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 25, 2026.
Analysis
The Bank of East Asia, Limited (BKEAY) currently trades at $2.32, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $2.19, implying the stock looks roughly 5.6% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 60/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services 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, The Bank of East Asia, Limited generated revenue of $15.4B at a net margin of 22.8%. Revenue declined 3.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $24.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 25, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $1.64 (bear case) to $2.74 (bull case); at $2.32, 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 near its 52-week high and 81% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -6%, BKEAY 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.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit ($28.20) versus Dividend Discount ($10.89). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
