What matters now

  • The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (38/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
  • The price is below even our cautious bear case (¥9.89). The market is more pessimistic than our downside scenario.
  • The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
  • A fairly wide model range (¥9.89 to ¥18.51) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis

China Eastern Airlines Corp Ltd (600115) currently trades at ¥3.49, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥14.20, implying the stock looks roughly 75.4% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 38/100 (below-average quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of ¥15.20 per share, and 7 of the 12 models we run sit above the ¥3.49 price. Bear case: the Growth DCF group reads lowest at ¥3.02, and 5 of the 12 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is low.

Over the trailing twelve months, China Eastern Airlines Corp Ltd generated revenue of 144B CNY at a net margin of 0.7%. Revenue grew 10.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 2.2%. Net debt stands at 67.2B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥9.89 (bear case) to ¥18.51 (bull case); at ¥3.49, 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 46% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at 45% fair-value upside, at 307%, 600115 screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

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.
