What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (HK$5.20). 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$5.19 to HK$5.20), unusually little disagreement for a valuation.

Analysis

Hesai Group Class B (2525) currently trades at HK$18.19, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is HK$5.20, implying the stock looks roughly 249.7% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 36/100 (below-average quality), in the Consumer Cyclical sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of HK$17.48 per share, and 0 of the 17 models we run sit above the HK$18.19 price. Bear case: the Economic Profit group reads lowest at HK$1.92, and 17 of the 17 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Hesai Group Class B 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 20, 2026

Our scenario range runs from HK$5.19 (bear case) to HK$5.20 (bull case); at HK$18.19, 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 −38% fair-value upside, at −71%, 2525 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 HK$2.43 per share, which is 46.6 % 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.
