Analysis
HONG LEONG FINANCE LIMITED (S41) currently trades at 2.51 SGD, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 2.09 SGD, implying the stock looks roughly 16.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 48/100 (below-average 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, HONG LEONG FINANCE LIMITED generated revenue of 188M SGD at a net margin of 33.4%. Revenue declined 23.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 3.0%. The stock trades on a trailing P/E of 17.9. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from 1.57 SGD (bear case) to 2.62 SGD (bull case); at 2.51 SGD, 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 8% below its 52-week high and 4% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 47% fair-value upside, at -17%, S41 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 6 models by family
