Fair value updated Aug 7, 2026, revised from $0.0100 to $0.0400 (+300.0%) since Jul 17, 2026.
A solid business, but screening 85% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($0.0500). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (52/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- 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 (HTSC) currently trades at $0.2700, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $0.0400, implying the stock looks roughly 85.2% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 52/100 (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, Huatai Securities Co generated revenue of $31.5B at a net margin of 37.4%. Revenue declined 35.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.8%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $210B. Fundamentals as of Aug 7, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $0.0300 (bear case) to $0.0500 (bull case); at $0.2700, 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. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at -85%, HTSC 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 2 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($2.50) versus Asset-Based ($1.97). Highest evidence: P/B Multiple (55).
