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$96.54B | HK$107.78B |
| Net income | Reported net income | HK$-8.78B | HK$823.58M |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | HK$214.94B | HK$232.46B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | HK$105.23B | HK$114.35B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | -9.10% | 0.76% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.4492x | 0.4637x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | 2.0426x | 2.0328x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | -8.35% | 0.72% |

2.5 FCFF DCF Valuation
FCFF DCF exception: Reported operating inputs do not support a stable FCFF DCF. This post deliberately does not publish a mechanical enterprise value or implied per-share value on an unsuitable basis.

|---|---|
| Last market price | HK$2.19 |
| Market capitalisation | HK$22.28B |
| Revenue | HK$96.54B |
| EBIT | -HK$11.09B |
| Reported free cash flow | -HK$23.99B |
| FCF yield | -107.66% |
| Net debt / EBITDA | 0.11x |

Financial institutions and REITs require sector-specific methods rather than a mechanical FCFF DCF. 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 |
