Analysis
Jiangsu Phoenix Publishing & Media Corp Ltd (601928) currently trades at ¥8.65, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥10.07, implying the stock looks roughly 14.1% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 65/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of ¥12.48 per share, and 16 of the 25 models we run sit above the ¥8.65 price. Bear case: the Earnings-Based group reads lowest at ¥4.77, and 9 of the 25 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, Jiangsu Phoenix Publishing & Media Corp Ltd generated revenue of 12.0B CNY at a net margin of 14.3%. Revenue declined 10.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 8.4%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of 1.7B CNY. Fundamentals as of Aug 17, 2026
Our scenario range runs from ¥6.84 (bear case) to ¥14.45 (bull case); at ¥8.65, 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 28% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at 4% fair-value upside, at 16%, 601928 screens cheaper 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 ¥0.1223 per share, which is 1.2 % 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 25 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings (¥12.48) versus Earnings-Based (¥4.77). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (81).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 63 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 43
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.
