Losses Narrow To C¥33 Million In Latest Half

• Net income loss in the first half of FY 2025 was C¥33.1 million on revenue of C¥775.5 million, compared with losses of C¥550.8 million on C¥867.4 million in the first half of 2024 and C¥1,177.7 million on C¥471.8 million in the second half of 2024.
• What stands out for the bullish view is that trailing twelve month losses of C¥221.5 million sit alongside revenue growing at 10.5% per year. Bulls argue this mix of higher top line and smaller losses could support their expectation for a sharp margin lift toward positive earnings within three years, even though current EPS is still a loss of C¥0.06 over the last twelve months.
  • Bullish investors highlight that losses have narrowed by about 2.2% per year over the past five years, which they see as early proof that operating discipline is taking hold.
  • They point to forecasts of very large earnings growth, with earnings expected to turn positive within three years, as the reason to focus more on the path from C¥221.5 million of trailing losses toward profit than on the current loss making status.

Bulls argue that these shrinking losses are the first step toward the earnings ramp they are betting on, and you can see how that story is laid out in more detail in the 🐂 Weimob Bull Case

Revenue Growth At 10.5% Versus Market 8.3%

• Over the last twelve months, Weimob's revenue is reported to have grown at 10.5% per year, above the 8.3% per year figure cited for the Hong Kong market, with trailing twelve month revenue at about C¥1.6b versus periodical halves ranging between C¥471.8 million and C¥867.4 million.
• Analysts' consensus view links this faster revenue growth to AI driven products and broader platform integrations, yet the current trailing net loss of C¥221.5 million and basic EPS loss of C¥0.06 show that, while top line momentum is there, the move to sustainable profitability is not reflected in the latest numbers.
  • Consensus commentary connects the 10.5% revenue growth rate to AI automation and new channels, but the continued loss making position indicates those growth drivers have not yet translated into positive margins.
  • At the current share price of HK$1.78, investors are weighing this revenue pace against the idea that profit margins might rise to 12% over the coming years, even though that margin improvement is not visible in the trailing financials.

Premium 4.1x P/S Versus Industry 2.0x

• Weimob is trading on a P/S of 4.1x, higher than the 2.0x average for the Hong Kong software industry and above the 2.8x peer average, while still reporting a trailing twelve month net loss of C¥221.5 million.
• Bears argue that paying a premium multiple for a company that is unprofitable and has a consensus price target of HK$2.62 against a current share price of HK$1.78 leaves little room for disappointment, especially when the path from a C¥221.5 million loss to positive earnings relies heavily on forecasts rather than current profitability.
  • Cautious investors point out that the P/S premium exists even though basic EPS is a loss of C¥0.06 over the last twelve months, which they see as a mismatch between price and present earnings power.
  • They also note that while revenue growth at 10.5% per year is ahead of the 8.3% market figure, it must work against the backdrop of past losses ranging from C¥550.8 million to C¥1,177.7 million in recent halves, which keeps the bar high for any turnaround story.

Skeptics see that rich 4.1x P/S multiple and ask whether the current premium really matches the risks in the numbers, and you can see how that cautious case is built out in the 🐻 Weimob Bear Case
