Despite the new cooperation framework with Autoliv and the latest production and sales update, Great Wall Motor’s share price has fallen sharply in recent months.

After a sharp share price slide that leaves Great Wall Motor trading well below both analyst targets and some intrinsic value estimates, the central question is where fair value actually sits within that wide range of views.

Price-to-Earnings of 7.1x: Is It Justified for Great Wall Motor?

On the latest data, Great Wall Motor trades on a P/E of 7.1x, which sits alongside a last close of HK$8.64 and screens as inexpensive relative to several benchmarks in the sector.

The P/E multiple compares the current share price with the company’s earnings per share, so you are effectively paying 7.1 times Great Wall Motor's recent earnings to own the stock. For an established auto manufacturer with positive net income of CN¥9,059.56m and forecast earnings growth, this is a key reference point for how the market is pricing its profit stream.

Several cross checks point in the same direction. Great Wall Motor is described as trading at good value compared to peers and industry, the stock is assessed as good value on P/E versus the peer average of 32.3x, and it also screens as good value versus the estimated fair P/E of 9x. Together with a separate view that the shares trade at a 44% discount to an intrinsic value estimate, this indicates that the current earnings multiple sits well below levels that some models and peer comparisons associate with the company.

Relative to the wider Asian auto sector, the P/E gap is also wide. Great Wall Motor’s 7.1x sits far below the Asian auto industry average P/E of 14x, which is a notable relative discount on earnings for a business of this scale.

Another View on Great Wall Motor’s Valuation

The P/E of 7.1x suggests Great Wall Motor could be on the cheap side, but our DCF model adds a different lens. On that approach, the shares at HK$8.64 sit about 44% below an estimated future cash flow value of HK$15.44, which also points to undervaluation. The question is whether the cash flows materialise in a way that closes that gap.
