China Natural Resources, Inc. (CHNR): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol CHNR · Basic Materials · Industrial Materials · China · Speculative
Is CHNR undervalued?
At 4.00 (close of 5 Nov 2026), CHNR trades 13214% over the GLS average fair value of 0.0300, with 0 of 1 models above the price. The stock earns none of the Wheel Score's Value points at this price. That is a statement about price against trailing fundamentals, not about the company's prospects - the Wall Street View and the Growth tab on the Quote page carry the forward numbers.
The average is built from just 1 models (DCF) - the rest returned nothing because an input they need (dividends, free cash flow, book value) is zero or negative - so treat it with more caution than usual.
The nightly engine files CHNR under Speculative - it is losing money or its Piotroski health score is 3 or lower - which caps its Wheel Score at 45 and keeps it out of the Sunday Scan.
Nine valuation models for CHNR
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.

| Graham Growth | - | - | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields; no value tonight |
| Lynch | - | - | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25%; no value tonight |

Quality and financial health
China Natural Resources, Inc. scores only 1 of 9 on the Piotroski F-score, which fails the "Piotroski 6 or more" Wheel Trade Filter. A reading this low means several of the basic tests - positive earnings, positive operating cash flow, falling debt, no new share issuance - are not met. A GLS Moat score of 1.7/10 is a weak reading: the accounts do not show returns and margins that competitors have been unable to wear down, so the Moat part of the Wheel Score contributes little.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -1.4%, ROE -1.4%, ROA -0.5% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
China Natural Resources, Inc. pays no dividend, so the DDM model does not apply and a covered-call holder earns only the premium and any price gain.
Institutional ownership scores 5/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 1 / 9 | ROIC | -1.4% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 1.7 / 10 | ROE | -1.4% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | -0.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | -17.1% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 10: No options
No options are listed on China Natural Resources, Inc. in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 10, under 70) and is left out of every options scan; the fair value and health figures above are still useful for a plain stock position.
Volume runs at 0k shares a day on a market cap of $5M, with a beta of 0.09 - a low beta, so day-to-day moves are smaller than the market's; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that fair.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Fails | no listed options |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Fails | speculative (a loss, or a weak Piotroski score) |
| 3 | Below fair value | Fails | trades 13214% above our fair value |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 1/9 (under 6) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Fails | no implied volatility |
| 8 | Big enough | Fails | market cap $5M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 4.00 (under $5) |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Weak | 13214% above fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 1.7/10 | |
| Health | Weak | Piotroski 1/9 | |
| Red Flags | Fair | not scored yet - half marks | |
