What matters now
- A fairly wide model range ($3.60 to $6.82) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
- Evidence is limited here (fewer models, shorter history), so the fair value is a rougher estimate than usual.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

60‑month range $3.21 – $229.80 · fair‑value band $3.60 – $6.82 · the $4.71 price screens below the $5.46 fair value. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Jul 27, 2026.
Analysis
The9 Limited (NCTY) currently trades at $4.71, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $5.46, implying the stock looks roughly 15.9% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 17/100 (below-average quality), in the Financial 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.
Trailing-twelve-month revenue stands at $108M. Revenue grew 133.5% year over year. Net debt stands at $176M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $3.60 (bear case) to $6.82 (bull case); at $4.71, 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 about 59% below its 52-week high and 12% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 11% fair-value upside, at 16%, NCTY 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.
