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 FY2026 FY2025
Revenue Reported revenue $87.03B $84.28B
Net income Reported net income $15.75B $15.68B
Total assets Year-end reported balance $126.52B $125.23B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance $54.08B $52.01B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 18.10% 18.61%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.6879x 0.6730x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 2.3395x 2.4077x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 29.13% 30.15%

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 $87.03B
Prior annual revenue $84.28B
EBIT $21.25B
Tax rate 20.77%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $16.84B
Forecast start-growth basis 3.26%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT $16.84B
Add: depreciation & amortisation $3.16B
Less: capital expenditure -$4.41B
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement $362.00M
Current unlevered FCFF $15.95B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 3.26% $17.39B $3.26B -$4.55B $373.80M $16.47B $15.97B
2 3.07% $17.92B $3.36B -$4.36B $385.28M $17.31B $15.79B
3 2.88% $18.44B $3.46B -$4.14B $396.38M $18.15B $15.57B
4 2.69% $18.93B $3.55B -$3.90B $407.04M $18.99B $15.32B
5 2.50% $19.41B $3.64B -$3.64B $417.22M $19.82B $15.04B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.38
Cost of equity 6.79%
Pre-tax cost of debt 2.49%
WACC 6.33%
WACC validation requires assumption review

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $530.75B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 18.86x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 83.41%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $77.69B
Present value of terminal value $390.52B
Indicated enterprise value $468.21B
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 $468.21B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $35.03B
Add: cash and equivalents $9.94B
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $230.00M
Indicated common equity value $442.89B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 2,422,500,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $143.43
DCF indicative value per share $182.83
Indicative value vs. market price 27.47%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:45:34.510568 UTC; latest reported fiscal period: 2026-06-30 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.

Annualised residual volatility 19.07% 17.27%
Factor loading (t-statistic) FF3 FF5

Profitability (RMW) NM 0.60 (4.86)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.77 (3.58)

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.
