- Weak quality (42/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 27, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range ¥8.92 – ¥29.08 · fair‑value band ¥6.84 – ¥10.00 · the ¥17.35 price screens above the ¥7.46 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 27, 2026.
Analysis
Yunnan Copper Co Ltd (000878) currently trades at ¥17.35, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥7.46, implying the stock looks roughly 132.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 42/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of ¥10.53 per share, and 1 of the 17 models we run sit above the ¥17.35 price. Bear case: the Dividend Discount group reads lowest at ¥3.19, and 16 of the 17 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.
Over the trailing twelve months, Yunnan Copper Co Ltd generated revenue of 197B CNY at a net margin of 0.7%. Revenue grew 49.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.0%. Net debt stands at 24.7B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥6.84 (bear case) to ¥10.00 (bull case); at ¥17.35, 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. The share trades about 40% below its 52-week high and 51% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −45% fair-value upside, at −57%, 000878 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 ¥0.2436 per share, which is 3.3 % 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.
All 17 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (¥10.53) versus Dividend Discount (¥3.19). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 41 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 40
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.
