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 $29.80B $28.88B
Net income Reported net income $657.00M $1.39B
Total assets Year-end reported balance $18.54B $17.35B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance $1.51B $1.74B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 2.20% 4.81%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 1.6072x 1.6646x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 12.2558x 9.9891x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 43.42% 79.91%

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 $29.80B
Prior annual revenue $28.88B
EBIT $1.04B
Tax rate 26.40%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $764.70M
Forecast start-growth basis 3.18%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT $764.70M
Add: depreciation & amortisation $674.00M
Less: capital expenditure -$468.00M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement $187.00M
Current unlevered FCFF $1.16B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 3.18% $789.04M $695.45M -$482.89M $192.95M $1.19B $1.13B
2 3.01% $812.80M $716.39M -$552.17M $198.76M $1.18B $1.00B
3 2.84% $835.89M $736.74M -$624.15M $204.41M $1.15B $885.30M
4 2.67% $858.21M $756.41M -$698.62M $209.87M $1.13B $777.88M
5 2.50% $879.66M $775.32M -$775.32M $215.11M $1.09B $680.57M

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 1.30
Cost of equity 11.88%
Pre-tax cost of debt 4.44%
WACC 11.14%
WACC validation within standard range

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $12.98B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 6.59x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 63.09%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $4.48B
Present value of terminal value $7.66B
Indicated enterprise value $12.14B
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 $12.14B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $3.37B
Add: cash and equivalents $1.93B
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $4.00M
Indicated common equity value $10.70B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 110,900,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $340.94
DCF indicative value per share $96.48
Indicative value vs. market price -71.70%

Model Integrity Checks

Check Result
Perpetuity growth is below the risk-free rate pass
Perpetuity growth is below WACC pass
WACC is within the configured operating-company range pass
Terminal-year FCFF is positive pass
Terminal capex converges to D&A pass

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:38:48.850866 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2025-08-31 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.

Profitability (RMW) NM -0.72 (-2.98)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.17 (0.41)

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.
