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$13.74B HK$12.48B
Net income Reported net income HK$902.03M HK$345.26M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$26.16B HK$23.67B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$17.03B HK$15.19B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 6.57% 2.77%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.5250x 0.5273x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 1.5367x 1.5587x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 5.30% 2.27%

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$13.74B
Prior annual revenue HK$12.48B
EBIT HK$1.37B
Tax rate 10.80%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) HK$1.23B
Forecast start-growth basis 10.04%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT HK$1.23B
Add: depreciation & amortisation HK$695.59M
Less: capital expenditure -HK$493.94M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement -HK$1.03B
Current unlevered FCFF HK$399.18M

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 10.04% HK$1.35B HK$765.41M -HK$543.52M -HK$1.13B HK$439.25M HK$415.25M
2 8.15% HK$1.46B HK$827.82M -HK$647.83M -HK$1.22B HK$415.06M HK$350.69M
3 6.27% HK$1.55B HK$879.71M -HK$752.20M -HK$1.30B HK$377.32M HK$284.92M
4 4.38% HK$1.62B HK$918.28M -HK$851.73M -HK$1.36B HK$327.31M HK$220.89M
5 2.50% HK$1.66B HK$941.24M -HK$941.24M -HK$1.39B HK$267.28M HK$161.21M

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 1.40
Cost of equity 12.39%
Pre-tax cost of debt 3.60%
WACC 11.89%
WACC validation within standard range

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value HK$2.92B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 1.04x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 53.72%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF HK$1.43B
Present value of terminal value HK$1.66B
Indicated enterprise value HK$3.10B
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$3.10B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt HK$4.23B
Add: cash and equivalents HK$5.68B
Add: affiliate investments HK$0.00
Less: minority interests HK$106.60M
Indicated common equity value HK$4.44B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 417,584,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price HK$174.40
DCF indicative value per share HK$10.63
Indicative value vs. market price -93.90%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 16:25:42.917734 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

Profitability (RMW) NM -0.65 (-1.12)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.30 (0.46)

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.
