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$2.61B | HK$2.60B |
| Net income | Reported net income | HK$558.86M | HK$475.44M |
| Total assets | Year-end reported balance | HK$11.74B | HK$11.78B |
| Shareholders’ equity | Year-end reported balance | HK$9.83B | HK$9.95B |
| Net margin | Net income ÷ revenue | 21.41% | 18.28% |
| Asset turnover | Revenue ÷ total assets | 0.2223x | 0.2208x |
| Equity multiplier | Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity | 1.1948x | 1.1843x |
| ROE | Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier | 5.69% | 4.78% |

| Market capitalisation | HK$4.94B |
| Revenue | NM |

| 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 |
