Fair value as of: Aug 14, 2026

From 6 valuation models · updated today

Fair value updated Aug 14, 2026, revised from 37.20 MYR to 36.78 MYR (−1.1%) since Jul 12, 2026. Share price −0.4% over the past month.

Below-average quality, screening 96% undervalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (44/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (27.58 MYR). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

Hong Leong Financial Group (1082) currently trades at 18.72 MYR, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is 36.78 MYR, implying the stock looks roughly 96.5% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 44/100 (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: medium), always confirm before acting.

Over the trailing twelve months, Hong Leong Financial Group generated revenue of 7.2B MYR at a net margin of 46.4%. Revenue declined 2.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 10.5%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 14.4B MYR. Fundamentals as of Aug 14, 2026

Our scenario range runs from 27.58 MYR (bear case) to 45.97 MYR (bull case); at 18.72 MYR, the current price sits below 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 18% below its 52-week high and 24% 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 96%, 1082 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.

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
