What matters now

• The price is below even our cautious bear case ($6.79). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
• The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
• Solid quality (51/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
• The models converge in a tight band ($6.79 to $7.14), unusually little disagreement for a valuation.

Analysis

Cheetah Mobile Inc (CMCM) currently trades at $3.30, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $6.97, implying the stock looks roughly 111.2% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 51/100 (solid quality), in the Communication 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: low), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Cheetah Mobile Inc generated revenue of $1.2B at a net margin of -21.0%. It earns a return on equity of -10.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $1.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $6.79 (bear case) to $7.14 (bull case); at $3.30, 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 65% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -6% fair-value upside, at 111%, CMCM 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 ($50.91) versus Asset-Based ($32.74). Highest evidence: EV/EBITDA (54).

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.
