In this model, Simply Wall St uses a 2 stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach. The latest twelve month free cash flow is a loss of about CN¥422.1m. Analyst estimates and extrapolations in the model point to projected free cash flow of CN¥2,570.8m in 2029, with intermediate years rising from CN¥1,333.5m in 2026 to CN¥3,941.5m in 2035. For each of these years, the projected cash flows in CN¥ Millions are discounted back to today and summed. Based on those projections, the DCF output in the model suggests an estimated intrinsic value of HK$76.73 per share, compared with the recent share price of HK$25.80. That difference corresponds to an implied 66.4% discount to the DCF estimate. On this basis, the model indicates a wide gap between what the market is currently paying and what the cash flow projections imply the shares might be worth. Result: UNDERVALUED (per this DCF model) Our Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis suggests China Literature is undervalued by 66.4%.

Growth expectations and risk still matter here, since investors usually accept a higher P/S ratio when they expect stronger revenue growth or see less risk in those cash flows, and look for a lower P/S when growth is more modest or risks feel higher. China Literature currently trades on a P/S of 3.14x. This sits above the Media industry average of 1.07x and the peer average of 1.16x, which on simple comparisons suggests the shares are priced at a richer level than many similar companies. Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio for China Literature is 1.42x. This is a proprietary estimate of what the P/S could be, given factors such as the company’s earnings growth profile, its industry, profit margins, market cap and specific risks. Because it blends these company level drivers rather than just comparing with broad peer or industry averages, it can offer a more tailored reference point. When set against this Fair Ratio of 1.42x, the current 3.14x P/S indicates that the shares screen as overvalued on this metric. Result: OVERVALUED P/S ratios tell one story, but what if the real opportunity lies elsewhere? Start investing in legacies, not executives.

Narratives are introduced as a simple story that you create about China Literature, linking your view of its future revenue, earnings and margins to an estimated fair value for the shares. On Simply Wall St's Community page, Narratives let you set assumptions and then tie the company story to a financial forecast and a fair value. You can then compare that fair value with the current share price to decide whether the stock looks expensive or cheap to you. These Narratives update automatically when new information such as earnings or news on goodwill impairments arrives, so your story and numbers stay aligned without you needing to rebuild models from scratch. For China Literature, one investor might build a cautious Narrative that aligns more closely with the lower analyst fair value around HK$33.07. Another might create a more optimistic Narrative nearer the higher fair value around HK$52.00. Seeing both side by side may help you decide which story and valuation feels more realistic given your own expectations. Do you think there's more to the story for China Literature?
