109% earnings growth on a 5% margin

• Over the last 12 months Guoxia reported earnings growth of 109.4% with a trailing net margin of 5% compared with 4.8% a year earlier, on C¥2,057.4 million of revenue.
• What stands out for a bullish view is that this 109.4% earnings jump sits on a still modest 5% margin, which:
  • Means the C¥102.9 million of trailing net income is built on a much larger sales base, so even small moves in margin can have a visible impact on profit.
  • Shows the recent half year figures, with net income of C¥5.6 million in 1H 2025 and C¥74.7 million in 2H 2024, feeding into that 12 month earnings profile that optimistic investors focus on.

Lumpy halves behind 109.4% growth

• The last three halves range from a loss of C¥25.6 million in 1H 2024 to profit of C¥74.7 million in 2H 2024 and C¥5.6 million in 1H 2025, alongside revenue moving from C¥90.6 million to C¥935.0 million and then C¥691.4 million.
• Skeptics looking for a bearish angle point to how this lumpiness sits against the strong trailing growth figure:
  • The swing from a loss in 1H 2024 to profit in 2H 2024 and then a much smaller profit in 1H 2025 shows that the 109.4% earnings increase is spread over very different half year outcomes.
  • That contrast between C¥102.9 million of trailing net income and only C¥5.6 million earned in the latest half gives bears a reason to question how consistent that 12 month performance might be.

11.1x P/S and price far above DCF fair value

• The trailing P/S ratio sits at 11.1x, compared with 0.7x for the Hong Kong Electrical industry and 0.8x for peers, while the current share price of HK$50 is well above the DCF fair value of HK$5.12.
• Critics highlight that this rich pricing tests any bullish story built on the recent profit run:
  • Paying 11.1x sales, far above industry and peer levels, means a lot of value is already assigned to the existing C¥2,057.4 million of trailing revenue and 5% margin.
  • The gap between the HK$50 share price and the HK$5.12 DCF fair value number, combined with recent share price volatility versus the Hong Kong market, is central to the cautious argument around valuation risk.
