FinVolution Group

FINVdata completeness 100%9 fiscal years on file
The thesis, from the filings

FinVolution Group earns about 27% on invested capital, far above its ~9% cost of capital, and has bought back 10% of its shares over 5 years — the marks of a durable business run for its owners. The estimate methods put fair value between $2.56 and $11.83 a share.Whether it’s worth owning at today’s price is the last question — and yours to answer, below.

iii. Is this a good business?

It earned about 27% on invested capital, year after year, against a ~9% cost of capital — the footprint of real pricing power. Competition usually drags returns like this back down; here it hasn't.

Management signal · capital allocation
−10% shares · 5y

Share count is down 10% over 5 years — management has been buying back stock, quietly handing owners a bigger slice. Total debt has risen 4484% over the same window.

Signals, not verdicts — read from the filings above. Numbers don’t prove a moat; they show its footprint. You decide.

iv. What it’s worth — engine v0.1.0

The 3 estimate methods that apply put fair value between $2.56 and $11.83 a share. They rest on different assumptions, so where they diverge is the story; the Graham Number is a stricter floor, not a target.
