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 FY2026 FY2025
Revenue Reported revenue HK$19.27M HK$24.50M
Net income Reported net income HK$-30.33M HK$-19.32M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$46.28M HK$81.08M
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$13.88M HK$5.63M
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue -157.42% -78.84%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.4163x 0.3022x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 3.3331x 14.3972x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier -218.43% -343.02%

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.

Buffett-inspired cash-quality 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 17:13:27.017436 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2026-03-31 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 1,821.57% 1,874.02%
Adjusted R² -0.01 -0.01
Annualised residual volatility 111.42% 110.94%
Factor loading (t-statistic) FF3 FF5
Market excess return (Mkt-RF) 0.70 (1.10) 0.88 (1.29)
Size (SMB) -0.65 (-0.70) -0.34 (-0.29)
Value (HML) 0.62 (0.70) 0.06 (0.06)
Profitability (RMW) NM -1.35 (-1.08)
Investment (CMA) NM 1.04 (0.74)

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.
