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$30.44M HK$52.18M
Net income Reported net income HK$-24.84M HK$-10.34M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$187.32M HK$262.70M
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$161.76M HK$186.61M
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue -81.61% -19.82%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.1625x 0.1986x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 1.1580x 1.4078x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier -15.36% -5.54%

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: FCFF DCF is not the primary valuation method for financial institutions or REITs. This post deliberately does not publish a mechanical enterprise value or implied per-share value on an unsuitable basis.

Last market price HK$0.04
Market capitalisation HK$33.60M
Revenue HK$30.44M
EBIT -HK$21.54M

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 17:18:25.154999 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 36.48% 28.99%
Adjusted R² -0.01 -0.01
Annualised residual volatility 110.32% 110.10%
Factor loading (t-statistic) FF3 FF5
Market excess return (Mkt-RF) 0.21 (0.33) 0.18 (0.26)
Size (SMB) -0.74 (-0.80) -0.67 (-0.58)
Value (HML) 0.58 (0.66) 0.94 (0.97)
Profitability (RMW) NM 1.10 (0.89)
Investment (CMA) NM -0.18 (-0.13)

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.
