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 $7.90B $7.04B
Net income Reported net income $1.54B $1.55B
Total assets Year-end reported balance $34.58B $31.33B
Shareholders’ equity Year-end reported balance $19.88B $18.87B
Net margin Net income ÷ revenue 19.44% 22.01%
Asset turnover Revenue ÷ total assets 0.2285x 0.2246x
Equity multiplier Total assets ÷ shareholders’ equity 1.7392x 1.6608x
ROE Net margin × asset turnover × equity multiplier 7.73% 8.21%

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 $7.90B
Prior annual revenue $7.04B
EBIT $2.26B
Tax rate 20.60%
NOPAT = EBIT × (1 − tax rate) $1.80B
Forecast start-growth basis 12.26%
Forecast policy latest reported annual revenue growth, bounded to -10.00% / 15.00%

Step 2 — Calculate FCFF

Current FCFF building block Value
NOPAT $1.80B
Add: depreciation & amortisation $898.20M
Less: capital expenditure -$104.70M
Less/(add): working-capital cash-flow movement $2.70M
Current unlevered FCFF $2.59B

Explicit FCFF forecast

Forecast year Revenue growth NOPAT D&A Capex Change in NWC FCFF Present value
1 12.26% $2.02B $1.01B -$117.54M $3.03M $2.91B $2.80B
2 9.82% $2.21B $1.11B -$373.67M $3.33M $2.95B $2.64B
3 7.38% $2.38B $1.19B -$663.89M $3.57M $2.91B $2.42B
4 4.94% $2.49B $1.25B -$972.30M $3.75M $2.77B $2.14B
5 2.50% $2.56B $1.28B -$1.28B $3.85M $2.56B $1.84B

Step 3 — Determine the Discount Rate (WACC)

WACC input Value
Risk-free rate 4.71%
Equity risk premium assumption 5.50%
Beta 0.74
Cost of equity 8.77%
Pre-tax cost of debt 3.82%
WACC 7.67%
WACC validation within standard range

Step 4 — Estimate Terminal Value

Terminal-value input Value
Perpetuity growth rate 2.50%
Terminal value $50.78B
Implied terminal EV / EBITDA 11.29x
Terminal value as % of enterprise value 74.78%

Step 5 — Discount Cash Flows to Enterprise Value

Enterprise-value component Value
Present value of explicit FCFF $11.84B
Present value of terminal value $35.10B
Indicated enterprise value $46.94B
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 $46.94B
Less: gross interest-bearing debt $9.35B
Add: cash and equivalents $297.40M
Add: affiliate investments $0.00
Less: minority interests $0.00
Indicated common equity value $37.89B

Step 7 — Calculate Indicative Value Per Share

Per-share output Value
Shares used 108,200,000.00
Share-count basis reported diluted weighted-average shares
Current market price $399.27
DCF indicative value per share $350.15
Indicative value vs. market price -12.30%

Data lineage: Yahoo Finance public market and reported-statement data; retrieval timestamp: 2026-08-18 17:47:51.647600 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 0.37 (2.01)
Investment (CMA) NM 0.64 (2.03)

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.
