What matters now

  • The price sits above even our optimistic bull case (¥31.96). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
  • Weak quality (31/100) and above fair value at the same time, the margin of safety is missing on both counts.

How to read this chart

60‑month range ¥21.13 – ¥114.15 · fair‑value band ¥19.17 – ¥31.96 · the ¥38.07 price screens above the ¥25.57 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average.

Analysis

Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co Ltd (603799) currently trades at ¥38.07, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is ¥25.57, implying the stock looks roughly 48.9% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 31/100 (below-average quality), in the Basic Materials sector. Bull case: the Growth Earnings group reads highest at a median of ¥122.34 per share, and 12 of the 17 models we run sit above the ¥38.07 price. Bear case: the DCF Models group reads lowest at ¥6.19, and 5 of the 17 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is medium.

Over the trailing twelve months, Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co Ltd generated revenue of 89.0B CNY at a net margin of 8.3%. Revenue grew 44.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 15.6%. Net debt stands at 26.0B CNY. Fundamentals as of Sep 3, 2026

Our scenario range runs from ¥19.17 (bear case) to ¥31.96 (bull case); at ¥38.07, 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 54% below its 52-week high and 13% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Basic Materials peers we cover trades at −37% fair-value upside, at −33%, 603799 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 ¥2.33 per share, which is 9.1 % 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.
