Fair value: USD7.48 (+120.0%), see how we got there

Gulf Resources, Inc. trades at USD3.40, which is 120% below the USD7.48 our discounted cash flow model puts on the business. On that measure alone it screens as undervalued, though a DCF is an argument rather than a measurement, and the market is frequently right about why something is cheap.

Our moat model scores it 16 out of 100, which is little in the way of a moat. A moat is a structural reason competitors cannot take the profits away, and it matters more to a long holding period than any single quarter's numbers do.
