26.7% margin driven by one off gain

• Over the last 12 months, Qingci Games reported a 26.7% net profit margin and earnings growth of 138.2%, supported by net income of CN¥121.7 million on CN¥456.1 million of revenue.
• What stands out for a bearish view is that a CN¥131.7 million one off gain sits inside that CN¥121.7 million of trailing net income,
  • which means a large part of the 26.7% margin and 138.2% earnings growth is tied to a non recurring item rather than ongoing operations,
  • and makes it harder for skeptics to treat the latest profit level as a steady reference point without looking at the underlying halves where net income ranged from CN¥6.1 million to CN¥70.3 million.

Stay curious about how much of Qingci Games' profit story comes from repeatable performance versus one off boosts, then weigh how bears frame that trade off in the 🐻 Qingci Games Bear Case.

Five year profit growth and recent rebound

• Over the past five years, earnings grew at about 24.8% per year and, within the latest halves, net income moved from CN¥45.1 million in 1H FY 2024 to CN¥6.1 million in 2H FY 2024 and then CN¥70.3 million in 1H FY 2025.
• Bulls often focus on that 24.8% annual earnings growth and the return to CN¥70.3 million of net income in 1H FY 2025,
  • arguing that consistent profitability over five years and the latest CN¥121.7 million of trailing net income show a business that can generate earnings across different periods,
  • yet the swing from CN¥6.1 million to CN¥70.3 million within just two halves reminds readers to separate the longer term trend from the short term volatility when thinking about how durable that bullish case really is.

• For readers testing both bullish and bearish arguments, this combination of a 15.3x P/E and price above DCF fair value
  • shows the market is currently paying more than both the industry average multiple and the HK$2.12 DCF fair value based on trailing figures that include the CN¥131.7 million one off gain,
