60‑month range ¥5.60 – ¥13.32 · fair‑value band ¥5.67 – ¥10.27 · the ¥7.53 price screens below the ¥7.54 fair value. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 16, 2026.
Analysis
Zhejiang Publishing & Media Co Ltd (601921) currently trades at ¥7.53, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥7.54, implying the stock looks roughly 0.1% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 64/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of ¥9.68 per share, and 12 of the 22 models we run sit above the ¥7.53 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at ¥4.34, and 10 of the 22 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Zhejiang Publishing & Media Co Ltd generated revenue of 10.3B CNY at a net margin of 12.1%. Revenue declined 7.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.9%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 6.0B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥5.67 (bear case) to ¥10.27 (bull case); at ¥7.53, 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 19% below its 52-week high and 5% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 9% fair-value upside, at 0%, 601921 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 ¥0.1692 per share, which is 2.2 % 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.
All 22 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples (¥9.68) versus Asset-Based (¥4.34). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (82).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 63 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 52
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.
