This study investigates the pricing of convertible bonds by focusing on the underlying stock price limits, a market structural feature overlooked in conventional models, and provides a comprehensive framework integrating price limits with embedded options (including conversion, call, put and reset clauses) based on Monte Carlo simulation. Numerical analysis reveals that convertible bond prices across varying moneyness states are insensitive to price limits at low underlying stock volatility, while higher volatility amplifies the pronounced impact of price limits on in-the-money bonds. Empirical tests based on data on the Chinese convertible bond market spanning the period from 2018 to 2024 indicate an average overvaluation in the market. The result identifies that there are negative pricing errors for deep-out-of-the-money bonds and positive errors for in-the-money bonds. A trading strategy based on pricing errors yields positive returns, demonstrating the model's practical applicability.
