Analysis
Tongwei Co (600438) currently trades at ¥12.80, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥12.13, implying the stock looks roughly 5.2% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 28/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology 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: low).
Over the trailing twelve months, Tongwei Co generated revenue of 80.3B CNY at a net margin of -11.7%. Revenue declined 23.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of -20.9%. Net debt stands at 57.9B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥5.88 (bear case) to ¥18.38 (bull case); at ¥12.80, the current price sits within 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 54% below its 52-week high and 1% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at -16% fair-value upside, at -5%, 600438 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.
All 2 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (¥13.84) versus Asset-Based (¥5.79). Highest evidence: EV/EBITDA (54).
