How Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial makes money

Yili makes money by processing raw milk into branded packaged dairy products and drinks. It sells them to consumers through retail channels, mainly in China, with some export sales.

What Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial does

Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial Group is a Chinese dairy producer founded in 1956 and based in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. It makes a wide range of dairy products, including liquid milk, dairy beverages, milk powder, yogurt, frozen drinks, cheese, and milk fat. It also sells health drinks and packaged drinking water. The company sells its products mainly in China and also exports some of them. Because it sells everyday staples, it falls in the consumer defensive sector, where demand tends to hold up relatively well when the economy slows.

What is Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial worth?

On an owner-earnings DCF, Inner Mongolia Yili Industrial's most-likely value is about ¥45 versus a recent price near ¥28 (38% below fair value). But TacticScale only calls a stock undervalued when the price sits below its conservative no-growth floor (~¥25) 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 ≈ ¥28
Fair value (most likely)
¥45
Range
¥34–¥76
No-growth floor
¥25
Price
~¥28

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 →
