Questions

Who are Shanghai HuaCe Navigation Technology's main competitors?
Named competitors: Trimble (TRMB), Hexagon (HEXA-B.ST), u-blox (private or unlisted), Unicore Communications (private or unlisted), Beijing UniStrong Science & Technology (002383.SZ), Topcon (private or unlisted). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes WNC (6285.TW), Digi International (DGII), Wuhan Changjin Photonics Technology (688635.SS), Jushri Technologies (300762.SZ), Wingtech Technology (600745.SS), GN Store Nord A/S (GN.CO).
Is Shanghai HuaCe Navigation Technology expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 21.0× against a peer median of 23.0×, 7th cheapest of 14 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 19% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +21%, so the hurdle is -3 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Shanghai HuaCe Navigation Technology stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -35.0% against -29.2% for the median peer; over one year -35.0%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
