Economic Moat
Evidence of durable competitive advantage in the filed financials (8 years of history).
Profit margins and economic moats, explainedSome durable-advantage evidence, but not across the board — dig into which ingredient is weak and whether it's cyclical or structural.
24.6% average over the last 3 years
±2.3 pts around 23.6% across 8 years
grew in 6 of the last 7 year-over-year periods
positive in 6 of 8 years

A moat can't be proven by numbers alone — this scores the evidence a durable advantage leaves behind (pricing power, consistency, returns on capital), computed the same way for every stock. Pair it with the business overview before concluding anything.
Technical Analysis (Educational)
Technical analysis reads price and volume to judge momentum and timing. It complements the fundamentals above — it does not replace them. Here is what BEKE's chart says today, with each tool explained.
Trend — moving averages. A moving average is the average closing price over a window, which smooths out daily noise. BEKE trades near $18.01, above its 50-day average ($16.60) and 200-day average ($17.04). Price above both averages, with the shorter one above the longer, is the textbook definition of an uptrend — momentum favours buyers.
Momentum — RSI. The Relative Strength Index runs 0–100 and measures how strong recent gains are versus losses. Above 70 is "overbought", below 30 "oversold". At 25 it is oversold — selling has been heavy and a bounce is possible.
MACD. MACD compares two moving averages to flag shifts in momentum. Its histogram is currently positive — short-term momentum is improving.
Volatility — ATR. Average True Range is the typical daily move. BEKE's is $0.44 (~2.4% of price), so swings of about that size each day are normal — handy for setting a stop that isn't too tight.
Support & resistance. In the month to Jul 6, 2026, BEKE found buyers near $13.81 (support) and sellers near $16.98 (resistance); its 52-week range then was $13.81–$20.98. A decisive break beyond either edge often marks the next move.
Volume. The latest session traded 0.4× the 20-day average — lighter than usual, so the move carries less conviction. Rising volume on up-days suggests real buying; on down-days, real selling.

Revenue Growth
4Y CAGR
4.0%
Revenue moved from $4.01B in 2018 to $13.24B in 2025, a 18.6% compound annual growth rate. The most recent year declined 10.2% year over year. Shrinking revenue is worth a closer look — is it cyclical or structural?
Profitability
Gross Margin
21.4%
Operating Margin
2.2%
Net Margin
3.2%
ROE
5.1%
KE Holdings Inc keeps about 3.8% of each sales dollar as net profit, with a 21.4% gross margin and 2.2% operating margin. Return on equity is 5.1% and return on invested capital about 3.0%. Thin margins leave less cushion if costs rise.
Debt Analysis
Total Debt
$25.61M
Net Debt
-$1.09B
Net cash position
Net Debt / EBITDA
-3.67x
Debt / Equity
0.02x
Leverage: debt-to-equity is 0.0x, and operating profit covers interest about 319.4x, with a current ratio of 1.6x. That is a conservative balance sheet — a cushion in downturns. It carries roughly $25.61M of total debt against $1.11B of cash.
Cash Flow Analysis
Operating CF
-$52.66M
Free Cash Flow
-$137.75M
FCF Margin
-1.0%
In the latest year KE Holdings Inc produced about -$52.66M of operating cash flow but negative free cash flow as it invested heavily. That is a free-cash-flow yield of about 14.1% on today's price. Strong cash generation funds dividends, buybacks, and reinvestment.

Educational scenario model, not a forecast or investment advice. It starts from the latest annual revenue in SEC filings. By default, growth is trailing revenue growth (held between 3% and 45% a year), the net margin is the latest one (held between 3% and 50%, so a loss-making company is modeled with a small profit), and the Base case P/E runs from 60% to 100% of today's. Carrying recent growth forward five years can miss badly in either direction. Outputs are only as good as the assumptions.
Bull Case
The case for BEKE:
- Healthy free-cash-flow yield (~14.1%) funds buybacks and dividends.
- A conservative balance sheet (debt/equity 0.0x) lowers risk.
Bear Case
The case against BEKE:
- Revenue growth is slow/negative (-10.2%), limiting the upside engine.
- Thin net margins (3.8%) leave little room for error.
- Our model's overall read is Weak (36/100).
Key Risks
Valuation risk — at 40.0x earnings, disappointing results could compress the multiple.
Growth risk — sluggish revenue (-10.2%) leaves little margin for execution missteps.
Margin risk — thin profitability (3.8%) is vulnerable to cost or pricing pressure.
Market risk — sector rotation, the economic cycle, and broad sentiment move the stock regardless of fundamentals.
Investment Thesis
On balance, the fundamentals screen weakly: KE Holdings Inc is a large-cap real estate business with shrinking revenue, with modest profitability, and a sound balance sheet. It trades at 40.0x earnings, which our model scores Weak (36/100). Weigh this against your own goals and time horizon — this is educational information, not a recommendation.

How is the 5-year projection for BEKE calculated?
It's a scenario model. It starts from the latest annual revenue and net margin in SEC filings, grows revenue at an assumed rate (trailing revenue growth by default), and applies a P/E range built around today's multiple to show the resulting share-price range. When a stock has no growth or P/E data, the starting values are placeholders. It's a tool for thinking, not a prediction.
