What matters now

  • A high-quality business (quality 72/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
  • A fairly wide model range (¥16.67 to ¥34.85) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

Qinghai Salt Lake Industry Co.Ltd (000792) currently trades at ¥26.65, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥21.26, implying the stock looks roughly 25.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 72/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the DCF Models group reads highest at a median of ¥28.75 per share, and 9 of the 24 models we run sit above the ¥26.65 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at ¥5.69, and 15 of the 24 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Qinghai Salt Lake Industry Co.Ltd generated revenue of 18.6B CNY at a net margin of 55.4%. Revenue grew 94.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 24.7%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 15.3B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥16.67 (bear case) to ¥34.85 (bull case); at ¥26.65, 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 36% below its 52-week high and 65% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at −20%, 000792 screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

This estimate rests on fiscal year 2025 figures, and about 8 months have passed since. In that time the company retained roughly ¥1.32 per share, which is 6.2 % of the fair value. The fair value deliberately does not add this in: the models value reported figures, not a projection.

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced 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. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.

Model Bear Bear = the cautious scenario: the same model computed with conservative anchors (lower growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bull it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target.BaseBull Bull = the optimistic scenario: the same model computed with favourable anchors (higher growth, margins and valuation multiples). Together with Bear it frames a plausible valuation range, not a price target. Evidence

Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.

All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
