InvestingPro’s Fair Value model captures Uxin’s 45% price correction

When it comes to identifying mispriced stocks, timing and precision are crucial. InvestingPro’s Fair Value analysis demonstrated this perfectly with Uxin Limited (NASDAQ:UXIN), successfully predicting the stock’s significant price correction in November 2024. For investors seeking similar opportunities, our Most overvalued list continues to identify potentially overextended stocks.

Uxin, a leading Chinese used car e-commerce platform, caught the attention of InvestingPro’s Fair Value models when trading at $6.31 in November 2024. Despite the company’s digital transformation and market presence, our comprehensive analysis indicated significant overvaluation, with the Fair Value estimate suggesting a more realistic price target of $3.48.

The company’s fundamentals at the time revealed concerning patterns. While revenue stood at $197.15 million, UXIN was posting negative EBITDA of -$34.86 million and an EPS of -$16.95. The stock had experienced volatile trading, including a remarkable 375% surge in September 2024, which contributed to our models flagging potential overvaluation.

Over the following eight months, UXIN’s stock price gradually aligned with InvestingPro’s Fair Value assessment, declining to $3.67 by July 2025. This movement represented a 45% correction, validating our analysis despite positive developments including strong Q3 growth and a strategic partnership with a CATL subsidiary for used car battery swaps.

Current fundamentals show modest revenue growth to $204.60 million, though EBITDA has deteriorated to -$41.25 million. While EPS has improved to -$6.19, it remains negative, supporting our initial cautionary stance.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology combines multiple valuation approaches, including discounted cash flow analysis, peer comparisons, and market sentiment indicators. This comprehensive approach helps identify pricing disconnects before they become apparent to the broader market.
