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 US$. 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 $12.95B $11.88B
Net income Reported net income $1.76B $1.06B
Total assets Year-end reported balance $71.89B $64.79B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance $16.96B $15.12B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 13.58% 8.89%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.1801x 0.1834x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 4.2393x 4.2854x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 10.37% 6.98%

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

Valuation basis: This research model follows a five-year, unlevered FCFF DCF. It starts from reported annual operating inputs, forecasts revenue and operating cash conversion under an explicit mechanical policy, discounts FCFF at WACC, applies a Gordon-growth terminal value, and bridges enterprise value to an indicative common-equity value per share. It is an analytical estimate rather than a recommendation or personalised target price.

Step 1 — Forecast Operating Profit and NOPAT

Reported operating input Value
Revenue $12.95B
Prior annual revenue $11.88B
EBIT $3.61B
Tax rate 21.90%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $2.82B
Forecast start-growth basis 8.98%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT $2.82B
Add: depreciation & amortisation $2.54B
Less: capital expenditure -$7.94B
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement $437.55M
Current unlevered FCFF -$2.15B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 8.98% $3.07B $2.77B -$8.65B $476.86M -$2.34B -$2.28B
2 7.36% $3.30B $2.97B -$7.71B $511.96M -$933.48M -$856.45M
3 5.74% $3.49B $3.14B -$6.48B $541.35M $684.48M $592.96M
4 4.12% $3.63B $3.27B -$5.01B $563.66M $2.45B $2.01B
5 2.50% $3.72B $3.35B -$3.35B $577.75M $4.30B $3.32B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.49
Cost of equity 7.38%
Pre-tax cost of debt 4.47%
WACC 5.91%
WACC validation requires assumption review

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $129.23B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 15.93x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 97.21%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $2.79B
Present value of terminal value $96.98B
Indicated enterprise value $99.77B
Discounting convention mid-year for explicit FCFF; terminal value discounted at year-end five

Step 6 — Convert Enterprise Value to Equity Value

Equity bridge Value
Indicated enterprise value $99.77B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $30.93B
Add: cash and equivalents $1.93B
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $56.09M
Indicated common equity value $70.71B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 450,151,884.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $108.75
DCF indicative value per share $157.08
Indicative value vs. market price 44.43%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:32:27.545503 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2025-12-31 00:00:00. Default assumptions: five-year forecast, mid-year discounting for explicit FCFF, a maximum 2.50% perpetuity-growth rate below both WACC and the risk-free rate, historical operating-ratio persistence, and capex convergence to D&A by year five. No sell-side consensus or management guidance is substituted for reported inputs. 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.

Profitability (RMW) NM 0.04 (0.29)
Investment (CMA) NM -0.04 (-0.16)

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.
