What matters now

- Solid quality (65/100) at a price below fair value, the discount is the argument here, not the business quality.
Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 27, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $19.37 – $75.00 · fair‑value band $163.73 – $272.89 · the $74.59 price screens below the $218.31 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. As of Aug 27, 2026.
Analysis
JOYY Inc (JOYY) currently trades at $74.59, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $218.31, implying the stock looks roughly 65.8% 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 $1,830 per share, and 14 of the 26 models we run sit above the $74.59 price. Bear case: the Growth DCF group reads lowest at $35.70, and 12 of the 26 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, JOYY Inc generated revenue of $2.2B at a net margin of 10.4%. Revenue grew 12.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of −25.2%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $364M. Fundamentals as of Aug 27, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $163.73 (bear case) to $272.89 (bull case); at $74.59, 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 near its 52-week high and 62% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at −6% fair-value upside, at 193%, JOYY 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 $0.0839 per share, which is 0.0 % 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.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($1,830) versus Economic Profit ($7.68). Highest evidence: EPV (72).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 66 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 76
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.
