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$5.72B HK$3.05B
Net income Reported net income HK$66.56M HK$33.79M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$1.90B HK$1.29B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$351.94M HK$289.31M
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 1.16% 1.11%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 3.0045x 2.3610x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 5.4120x 4.4680x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 18.91% 11.68%

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

FCFF DCF exception: The modelled terminal-year FCFF is non-positive, so a perpetuity valuation would not be reliable. This post deliberately does not publish a mechanical enterprise value or implied per-share value on an unsuitable basis.

Available valuation input Value
Last market price HK$1.53
Market capitalisation HK$1.62B
Revenue HK$5.72B
EBIT HK$174.55M
Reported free cash flow -HK$148.79M
FCF yield -9.20%
Net debt / EBITDA 4.16x

2.6 Investor-Style Research Screen

Educational screen Result
Buffett-inspired cash-quality checks not rated — FCFF DCF suitability or data-integrity condition not met
Lynch-inspired balance-and-growth checks not rated — FCFF DCF suitability or data-integrity condition not met

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:09:41.357520 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2025-12-31 00:00:00. 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

Fama–French Three-Factor and Five-Factor Results

Diagnostic FF3 FF5
Annualised alpha 366.53% 344.90%
Adjusted R² 0.06 0.05
Annualised residual volatility 161.04% 160.96%
Factor loading (t-statistic) FF3 FF5
Market excess return (Mkt-RF) 2.14 (2.33) 2.14 (2.16)
Size (SMB) 2.58 (1.91) 2.69 (1.58)
Value (HML) 4.30 (3.38) 4.55 (3.20)
Profitability (RMW) NM 0.81 (0.44)
Investment (CMA) NM -0.01 (-0.00)

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.
