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 $12.05B $11.12B
Net income Reported net income $540.70M $174.90M
Total assets Year-end reported balance $24.48B $22.92B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance $12.08B $11.48B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 4.49% 1.57%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.4923x 0.4852x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 2.0257x 1.9964x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 4.47% 1.52%

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 $12.05B
Prior annual revenue $11.12B
EBIT $1.45B
Tax rate 21.00%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $1.15B
Forecast start-growth basis 8.36%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT $1.15B
Add: depreciation & amortisation $1.05B
Less: capital expenditure -$1.36B
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement -$961.30M
Current unlevered FCFF -$121.82M

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 8.36% $1.25B $1.14B -$1.47B -$1.04B -$132.01M -$127.67M
2 6.89% $1.33B $1.22B -$1.48B -$1.11B -$51.48M -$46.58M
3 5.43% $1.40B $1.28B -$1.47B -$1.17B $40.21M $34.03M
4 3.96% $1.46B $1.33B -$1.43B -$1.22B $140.03M $110.86M
5 2.50% $1.50B $1.37B -$1.37B -$1.25B $244.22M $180.85M

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.82
Cost of equity 9.23%
Pre-tax cost of debt 4.96%
WACC 6.90%
WACC validation requires assumption review

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $5.68B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 1.74x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 96.41%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $151.49M
Present value of terminal value $4.07B
Indicated enterprise value $4.22B
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 $4.22B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $5.28B
Add: cash and equivalents $276.60M
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $149.30M
Indicated common equity value -$929.08M

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 318,900,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $21.31
DCF indicative value per share -$2.91
Indicative value vs. market price -113.67%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:42:15.966299 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 -0.49 (-1.61)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.76 (1.43)

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.
