What matters now
- The large discount to fair value meets weak quality (42/100). That raises the risk this is a value trap rather than a bargain.
- The large gap to fair value rests on thin data (low evidence): fewer applicable models and a shorter history. Read it with extra caution.
- A fairly wide model range ($12.74 to $24.14) leaves room in how you read the outcome.

Analysis
Daqo New Energy Corp ADR (DQ) currently trades at $12.56, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $19.32, implying the stock looks roughly 35.0% undervalued today. The Quality Score stands at 42/100 (below-average quality), in the Technology sector. How firm this estimate is: it rests on 1 models at a data quality of 80/100, which puts the evidence level at low.
Over the trailing twelve months, Daqo New Energy Corp ADR generated revenue of $568M at a net margin of −32.9%. Revenue declined 78.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −4.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $980M. Fundamentals as of Sep 2, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $12.74 (bear case) to $24.14 (bull case); at $12.56, the current price sits below 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 66% below its 52-week high, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Technology peers we cover trades at −71% fair-value upside, at 54%, DQ screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
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.

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 44 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 16
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.
