Fair value updated Aug 13, 2026, revised from HK$6.34 to HK$6.68 (+5.4%) since Jul 31, 2026. Share price +22.7% over the past month.

Below-average quality, and screening another 64% overvalued on our models.

What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (HK$6.68). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (36/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.
  • The models converge in a tight band (HK$6.67 to HK$6.68), unusually little disagreement for a valuation.

Analysis

Hesai Group (2525) currently trades at HK$18.60, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$6.68, implying the stock looks roughly 64.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 36/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical 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, Hesai Group generated revenue of HK$3.2B at a net margin of 14.8%. Revenue grew 29.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of HK$664M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from HK$6.67 (bear case) to HK$6.68 (bull case); at HK$18.60, 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. For context, the median of 10 Consumer Cyclical peers we cover trades at -52% fair-value upside, at -64%, 2525 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.

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
