Analysis

China Starch Holdings (CHNSF) currently trades at $0.0200, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.0340, implying the stock looks roughly 70.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Defensive 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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, China Starch Holdings generated revenue of $10.1B at a net margin of 1.8%. Revenue declined 14.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 5.2%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 2.0. Fundamentals as of Jul 29, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $0.0300 (bear case) to $0.0340 (bull case); at $0.0200, 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 near its 52-week high and 96% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Defensive peers we cover trades at -3% fair-value upside, at 70%, CHNSF 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.

Widest divergence: Multiples ($0.6300) versus Dividend Discount ($0.1000). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

Frequently asked questions

How we calculate Fair Value

Each company is valued through a stack of independent intrinsic-value models (DCF variants, residual-income, multiples and more), blended into one family-balanced consensus and weighted by how much trustworthy data backs it. A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
