Losses narrow on C¥630m TTM deficit

• On a trailing 12 month basis, Beijing Capital International Airport reported total revenue of C¥5.6b and a net loss of C¥630.0m, with the loss smaller than the C¥1.4b loss recorded on the same TTM basis a year earlier.
• What stands out for a bullish view is that management has reduced losses at an average rate of 17.2% per year over the past five years. However, the business is still loss making on C¥5.6b of TTM revenue, which means:
  • The improvement in TTM net loss from C¥1.4b to C¥630.0m fits the argument that the earnings profile is heading in the right direction.
  • At the same time, the continued loss alongside quarterly deficits of C¥125.0m to C¥391.4m in FY 2025 shows the bullish thesis still depends on further progress, not just on the current run rate.

Bulls argue that recent revenue and margin trends set up a cleaner path to profitability. Even so, the TTM loss and quarterly deficits suggest the turnaround story is still in progress, not complete. 📊 Read the what the Community is saying about Beijing Capital International Airport.

Revenue growing around 9.8% a year

• Trailing 12 month revenue is reported to have grown at 9.8% per year, compared with an 8.2% per year forecast for the wider Hong Kong market, while FY 2025 quarterly revenue ranged from C¥1.3b in Q1 to C¥1.5b in Q3.
• Supporters of a bullish case often point to this revenue growth, and the numbers here partly back that up while also highlighting pressure on profitability:
  • Revenue on a TTM basis edged from about C¥5.5b at the start of FY 2025 to C¥5.6b by Q4, aligning with the 9.8% annual growth figure that sits above the market reference of 8.2%.
  • However, net income excluding extra items stayed in loss territory each quarter in FY 2025, with deficits between C¥38.9m and C¥391.4m, so faster top line growth has not yet translated into positive earnings.

Valuation gap versus C¥5.1 DCF fair value

• The current share price of HK$1.79 screens against a DCF fair value of HK$5.08 and a P/S of 1.3x, which is slightly below the peer and Hong Kong infrastructure industry average of about 1.4x.
• Investors who lean bullish on valuation see this gap as meaningful, and the provided figures give clear support while also flagging an important balance sheet risk:
  • The difference between HK$1.79 and the HK$5.08 DCF fair value implies the shares are priced well below that modelled estimate, even before considering that revenue is growing faster than the 8.2% Hong Kong market reference.
  • Set against that, the analysis notes that debt servicing is not well covered by operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months, so any perceived valuation upside depends heavily on cash generation improving from the current loss making base.
