Most Popular Narrative: 23.5% Undervalued
Chagee Holdings' most followed narrative pegs fair value at $11.98 per share, compared with the last close of $9.16. This frames the current discount in a structured way.
Chagee's assets are largely cash and cash equivalents, making a conservative net working capital easy to calculate. A conservative net working capital of RMB 9.2b assets and 2.87b in total liabilities is ~6.38bn. The book value of 8.2bn is not far off if also accounting for the right of use assets in store leases.
According to kaladorm, the valuation hinges on how long current revenue levels and margins can be held, and what earnings power emerges once expansion spending settles.
Result: Fair Value of $11.98 (UNDERVALUED)
