China Steel Corporation (CISXF) Fair Value & Analysis

Basic Materials · US · Market cap $11.4B

Below-average quality, and screening another 65% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

• The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($8.10). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
• Weak quality (43/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
• The model range is unusually wide ($2.20 to $8.10). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.

Analysis

China Steel Corporation (CISXF) currently trades at $14.90, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.15, implying the stock looks roughly 65.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 43/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials 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, China Steel Corporation generated revenue of $313B at a net margin of -2.3%. Revenue declined 4.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -1.8%. Net debt stands at $250B. Fundamentals as of Aug 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $2.20 (bear case) to $8.10 (bull case); at $14.90, 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 25% below its 52-week high and 1% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at -22% fair-value upside, at -65%, CISXF 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.

Widest divergence: Asset-Based ($256.55) versus Multiples ($2.64). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

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.
