What Xiamen Tungsten does

Fujian-based producer of tungsten and rare-earth products plus lithium-ion battery cathode materials through a subsidiary.

Sells tungsten and rare earths at prices that follow commodity markets, so metal price cycles move results alongside volumes. The battery-cathode arm sells to cell makers and is more exposed to electric-vehicle demand. A Fujian provincial state-owned metals group controls it.

In one line: A tungsten/battery-materials hybrid, no direct US peer.

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.
