Analysis
Meitu, Inc (1357) currently trades at HK$4.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$2.50, implying the stock looks roughly 44.4% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 66/100 (solid quality), in the Communication 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, Meitu, Inc generated revenue of HK$3.9B at a net margin of 15.1%. Revenue grew 12.3% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$2.1B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from HK$1.91 (bear case) to HK$3.01 (bull case); at HK$4.50, 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 last reported earnings sit well below what analysts expect (earnings in transition, for example after write-downs or an earnings dip); whether the stock is cheap or expensive hinges on the expected recovery actually arriving. Read the fair value with that caveat. The share trades about 64% below its 52-week high and 26% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -8% fair-value upside, at -44%, 1357 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 24 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models (HK$5.63) versus Asset-Based (HK$0.8400). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
