Analysis

Aluminum Corp of China Ltd (601600) currently trades at ¥9.67, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥5.71, implying the stock looks roughly 69.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Growth DCF group reads highest at a median of ¥30.67 per share, and 20 of the 26 models we run sit above the ¥9.67 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at ¥3.80, and 6 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Aluminum Corp of China Ltd generated revenue of 244B CNY at a net margin of 6.0%. Revenue grew 4.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 20.9%. Net debt stands at 40.1B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 19, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥4.28 (bear case) to ¥7.13 (bull case); at ¥9.67, 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 share trades about 39% below its 52-week high and 45% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at 15% fair-value upside, at −41%, 601600 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 ¥0.4009 per share, which is 7.0 % 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.
