DouYu International Holdings Limited (DOYU): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol DOYU · Communication Services · Internet Content & Information · China · ADR · Speculative Income
DOYU is an American depositary share (ADR): the US listing of DouYu International 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 DOYU undervalued?
DOYU has a margin of safety of 96%: the stock closed at 3.68 on 5 Nov 2026 against a GLS average fair value of 85.13. 2 of the 2 valuation models that produced a number sit above the price. Our scans treat a discount this large as a strong starting point for a cash-secured put, not as a verdict - the fair value is a model output, and a wide gap can mean the models are missing something the market knows.
The average is built from just 2 models (DCF, DDM) - 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 DOYU 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. It also carries the Income tag (Income = a dividend yield of 4% or more).
Nine valuation models for DOYU
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.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 13.02 | +254% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | - | - | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share; no value tonight |
| 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 |
| GLS Growth | - | - | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year; no value tonight |
| 10 Cap | - | - | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10%; no value tonight |
| Payback Time | - | - | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself; no value tonight |
| DDM | 157.25 | +4173% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | - | - | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth; no value tonight |
| Zombie (liquidation) | 7.45 | +103% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 9.03 | +145% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
DouYu International Holdings Limited scores only 4 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 2.1/10 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 -1.5%, ROE -1.5%, ROA -0.9% - with debt at 0.00 times equity and negative free cash flow.
The dividend yield is high at 290.40% (payout ratio 0%). A yield this size is often the market's way of pricing a risk to the payout, so the health score and cash flow matter more than usual. Revenue comes mainly from Revenue sharing fees and content costs 84%, Other costs 10%, Bandwidth costs 6% (fiscal year FY2025).
Institutional ownership scores 2/10, insider activity 5/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales.
| Piotroski F-score | 4 / 9 | ROIC | -1.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 2.1 / 10 | ROE | -1.5% |
| Debt / equity | 0.00 | ROA | -0.9% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 0.0% | Payout ratio | 0% |
| Institutions | 2 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 5 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 27: No options
No options are listed on DouYu International Holdings Limited in our nightly snapshot, so it fails the first Wheel Trade Filter (options that actually trade) (it reads 27, 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 8k shares a day on a market cap of $111M, with a beta of 0.97; 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 4/9 (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 $111M (under $1.0B) |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Fails | price 3.68 (under $5) |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Strong | 96% below fair value | |
| Premium | Weak | no option data | |
| Moat | Weak | moat 2.1/10 | |
| Health | Fair | Piotroski 4/9 | |
