Questions

Which companies are Rank's closest peers?
The cockpit's peer set: Zhejiang Huazhi Digital Media (300426.SZ), Viva Goods (0933.HK), YG Entertainment (122870.KS), Ciwen Media (002343.SZ), Maoyan Entertainment (1896.HK), CJ CGV (079160.KS), Angel Studios (ANGX), COVER (5253.T).
Is Rank expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 10.3× against a peer median of 17.2×, 2nd cheapest of 10 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 6% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +20%, so the hurdle is -15 pp: the price already allows for a slowdown.
How has Rank stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -2.6% against -6.2% for the median peer; over one year -18.6%.

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.
