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 FY2024 FY2023
Revenue Reported revenue HK$107.40M HK$131.74M
Net income Reported net income HK$-28.86M HK$20.15M
Total assets Year-end reported balance HK$133.31M HK$120.25M
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance HK$69.97M HK$73.92M
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue -26.87% 15.30%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.8057x 1.0955x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 1.9053x 1.6268x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier -41.24% 27.26%

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 -34.72% -37.73%
Adjusted R² -0.00 0.00
Annualised residual volatility 59.74% 59.35%
Factor loading (t-statistic) FF3 FF5
Market excess return (Mkt-RF) 0.37 (1.08) 0.58 (1.59)
Size (SMB) 0.30 (0.59) 0.83 (1.33)
Value (HML) -0.25 (-0.53) -0.50 (-0.95)
Profitability (RMW) NM -0.23 (-0.34)
Investment (CMA) NM 1.18 (1.58)

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.
