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$23.26B HK$21.26B
Net income Reported net income HK$1.26B HK$1.06B
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$23.59B HK$21.42B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$11.22B HK$10.42B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 5.41% 4.99%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.9862x 0.9929x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 2.1017x 2.0559x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 11.22% 10.19%

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$23.26B
Prior annual revenue HK$21.26B
EBIT HK$1.59B
Tax rate 17.78%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) HK$1.31B
Forecast start-growth basis 9.40%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT HK$1.31B
Add: depreciation & amortisation HK$479.39M
Less: capital expenditure -HK$321.48M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement HK$364.93M
Current unlevered FCFF HK$1.83B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 9.40% HK$1.43B HK$524.44M -HK$351.69M HK$399.22M HK$2.01B HK$1.93B
2 7.67% HK$1.54B HK$564.68M -HK$425.18M HK$429.85M HK$2.11B HK$1.88B
3 5.95% HK$1.64B HK$598.27M -HK$499.74M HK$455.42M HK$2.19B HK$1.81B
4 4.22% HK$1.70B HK$623.54M -HK$572.19M HK$474.66M HK$2.23B HK$1.71B
5 2.50% HK$1.75B HK$639.13M -HK$639.13M HK$486.52M HK$2.23B HK$1.58B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.77
Cost of equity 8.93%
Pre-tax cost of debt 2.67%
WACC 7.96%
WACC validation within standard range

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value HK$41.90B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 15.16x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 76.23%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF HK$8.91B
Present value of terminal value HK$28.57B
Indicated enterprise value HK$37.47B
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$37.47B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt HK$1.51B
Add: cash and equivalents HK$4.22B
Add: affiliate investments HK$0.00
Less: minority interests HK$230.89M
Indicated common equity value HK$39.96B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 7,024,456,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price HK$1.28
DCF indicative value per share HK$5.69
Indicative value vs. market price 342.71%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 16:18:50.389841 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

Adjusted R² 0.16 0.16
Annualised residual volatility 37.62% 37.47%

Profitability (RMW) NM 0.01 (0.03)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.60 (1.27)

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.
