Questions

Which companies are QAF's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: Qingdao Richen Food (603755.SS), Tianshui Zhongxing Bio-Technology (002772.SZ), Kunshan Asia Aroma (301220.SZ), Chalkis Health Industry (000972.SZ), Fujiya (2211.T), Once Upon a Farm, PBC (OFRM), Gourmet Master (2723.TW), Shoei Foods (8079.T).
Is QAF expensive compared with its peers?
On ev / sales it trades at 0.5× against a peer median of 1.1×, 4th cheapest of 21 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about -11% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +2%, so the hurdle is -13 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has QAF stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -10.4% against -7.1% for the median peer; over one year +1.1%.

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.
