What is CMOC worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, CMOC's most-likely value is about ¥11 versus a recent price near ¥17 (55% above fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~¥6) with a margin of safety — so the honest verdict here is “Fairly priced — no edge.” Fair value earns its keep only at the extremes, not in the wide middle.

Verdict: Fairly priced — no edge
Owner-earnings fair value · recent price ≈ ¥17

Price sits in the normal range — fair value isn't actionable here; it earns its keep only when price drops below the no-growth floor, or runs to roughly double the optimistic case.

Analysis, not advice. Fair value is a margin-of-safety estimate from a deterministic owner-earnings DCF, not a price target or recommendation. See the full breakdown →

One company, two listings

CMOC trades in mainland China and in Hong Kong. Same business, same profits — but the two markets can price it at different multiples, because they have different investors, money and reference points.
