CNFinance Holdings Limited (CNF): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol CNF · Financial Services · Financial - Mortgages · China · ADR · Speculative
CNF is an American depositary share (ADR): the US listing of CNFinance Holdings Limited, whose own shares trade on its home exchange. It trades in dollars during US hours; currency moves and the home country's rules also affect it, and the depositary bank charges a small yearly fee.
Is CNF undervalued?
CNFinance Holdings Limited (CNF) closed at 2.09 on 5 Nov 2026. The GLS average fair value - the simple average of the 1 valuation models that produced a positive number - is 75.42, which puts the price 97% below it. 1 of the 1 models value the shares above the current price. A gap this wide is rare in our universe of ~7,400 US stocks and is exactly what the Value part of the Wheel Score rewards; it is also where the question "why is it this cheap?" matters most.
The average is built from just 1 models (10 Cap) - 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 CNF 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 CNF
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.

Quality and financial health
CNFinance Holdings Limited scores only 2 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. On durability CNF scores 5.1/10 on the GLS Moat - a middle reading; the Moat Score tab on the Quote page's Financials view shows which of the four parts hold it back.
Returns on capital are thin or negative - ROIC -5.9%, ROE -12.8%, ROA -4.5% - with debt at 1.18 times equity and negative free cash flow.
CNFinance Holdings Limited 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 | 2 / 9 | ROIC | -5.9% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 5.1 / 10 | ROE | -12.8% |
| Debt / equity | 1.18 | ROA | -4.5% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 5 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 28: No options
No options are listed on CNFinance Holdings Limited in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 28, 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 1k shares a day on a market cap of $6M, with a beta of -0.15 - 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 | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Fails | Piotroski 2/9 (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 $6M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 2.09 (under $5) |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 97% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Fair | moat 5.1/10 | |
| Health | Weak | Piotroski 2/9 | |
