DuPont Model Analysis

The DuPont model decomposes return on equity (ROE) into three operating and capital-structure drivers:

ROE = Net Margin × Asset Turnover × Equity Multiplier

The comparison uses the latest two comparable annual periods available for the issuer, with reported statement amounts shown in HK$. Revenue and net income are income-statement flows; total assets and shareholders’ equity are year-end balance-sheet figures. This is a simplified year-end-balance DuPont comparison rather than an average-balance ROE calculation.

DuPont component Calculation FY2025 FY2024
Revenue Reported revenue HK$88.02B HK$90.96B
Net income Reported net income HK$10.47B HK$11.74B
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$238.64B HK$233.71B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$111.48B HK$104.06B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 11.89% 12.91%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.3688x 0.3892x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 2.1407x 2.2461x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 9.39% 11.28%

Source: Yahoo Finance annual statements. Values are based on the two latest comparable annual periods returned by the source; fiscal period labels use the statement period-end year.

2.5 FCFF DCF Valuation

Valuation basis: This research model follows a five-year, unlevered FCFF DCF. It starts from reported annual operating inputs, forecasts revenue and operating cash conversion under an explicit mechanical policy, discounts FCFF at WACC, applies a Gordon-growth terminal value, and bridges enterprise value to an indicative common-equity value per share. It is an analytical estimate rather than a recommendation or personalised target price.

Step 1 — Forecast Operating Profit and NOPAT

Reported operating input Value
Revenue HK$88.02B
Prior annual revenue HK$90.96B
EBIT HK$15.79B
Tax rate 18.70%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) HK$12.84B
Forecast start-growth basis -3.24%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT HK$12.84B
Add: depreciation & amortisation HK$9.72B
Less: capital expenditure -HK$16.75B
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement HK$2.23B
Current unlevered FCFF HK$8.03B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 -3.24% HK$12.42B HK$9.40B -HK$16.21B HK$2.15B HK$7.77B HK$7.53B
2 -1.80% HK$12.20B HK$9.23B -HK$14.25B HK$2.12B HK$9.30B HK$8.47B
3 -0.37% HK$12.16B HK$9.20B -HK$12.53B HK$2.11B HK$10.93B HK$9.35B
4 1.07% HK$12.28B HK$9.30B -HK$10.98B HK$2.13B HK$12.73B HK$10.24B
5 2.50% HK$12.59B HK$9.53B -HK$9.53B HK$2.18B HK$14.78B HK$11.16B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.56
Cost of equity 7.82%
Pre-tax cost of debt 2.50%
WACC 6.44%
WACC validation requires assumption review

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value HK$384.82B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 15.38x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 85.77%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF HK$46.75B
Present value of terminal value HK$281.72B
Indicated enterprise value HK$328.48B
Discounting convention mid-year for explicit FCFF; terminal value discounted at year-end five

Step 6 — Convert Enterprise Value to Equity Value

Equity bridge Value
Indicated enterprise value HK$328.48B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt HK$61.99B
Add: cash and equivalents HK$3.91B
Add: affiliate investments HK$0.00
Less: minority interests HK$5.94B
Indicated common equity value HK$264.45B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 2,526,451,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price HK$78.25
DCF indicative value per share HK$104.67
Indicative value vs. market price 33.77%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 16:03:47.149354 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2025-12-31 00:00:00. Default assumptions: five-year forecast, mid-year discounting for explicit FCFF, a maximum 2.50% perpetuity-growth rate below both WACC and the risk-free rate, historical operating-ratio persistence, and capex convergence to D&A by year five. No sell-side consensus or management guidance is substituted for reported inputs. This is research and analysis only, not personalized financial advice.

2.7 Quantitative Factor Diagnostics

Model basis: Daily issuer USD excess returns are regressed in-sample using ordinary least squares on matching regional Fama–French factors. FF3 estimates market, size, and value loadings; FF5 adds profitability and investment. Coefficients are descriptive historical exposures, not predictions.

Estimation input Value
Regional factor set Asia Pacific ex Japan
Factor-return currency USD
Issuer-return basis USD adjusted total return
Estimation window 2025-08-20 to 2026-06-30
Aligned daily observations 210
Minimum observation requirement 120
Currency conversion for HK listings HKD adjusted close divided by daily USD/HKD close before simple daily return calculation

Fama–French Three-Factor and Five-Factor Results

Diagnostic FF3 FF5
Annualised alpha 5.63% 7.02%
Adjusted R² 0.31 0.35
Annualised residual volatility 9.23% 8.91%
Factor loading (t-statistic) FF3 FF5
Market excess return (Mkt-RF) 0.42 (8.06) 0.45 (8.19)
Size (SMB) -0.17 (-2.18) -0.14 (-1.52)
Value (HML) 0.53 (7.22) 0.40 (5.04)
Profitability (RMW) NM -0.35 (-3.51)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.16 (1.38)

Definitions: Mkt-RF is the market return less the risk-free rate; SMB is small minus big; HML is high minus low book-to-market; RMW is robust minus weak profitability; CMA is conservative minus aggressive investment. Factor returns are sourced from the Kenneth R. French Data Library; issuer adjusted-return history is sourced from Yahoo Finance. For Hong Kong listings, adjusted HKD prices are converted into USD with daily USD/HKD closes before return calculation to match the USD regional factor basis. This is an in-sample historical regression; coefficients and t-statistics do not establish causation or predict future returns. This is research and analysis only, not personalized financial advice.
