TTM earnings growth of 55.7% sets the pace

• Over the last 12 months, reported earnings growth of 55.7% and a trailing net income of C¥61.72 million on C¥442.09 million of revenue show that profit expansion has been meaningful alongside a 14% net margin.
• What stands out for the bullish view is how these figures line up with the longer term story, with trailing earnings growth of 55.7% and a five year earnings growth rate of 51.9% per year both pointing to profit improvement, yet:
  • Net margin of 14% on a trailing basis is slightly below the prior year’s 14.7%, so bulls have to balance the growth rate against a modest margin dip.
  • Across the last three reported half year periods, net income moved from C¥25.28 million to C¥14.37 million and then to C¥31.88 million, which gives bulls both strong trailing growth and some variability to consider.

Margins hold near 14% despite earnings swings

• The trailing 12 month net margin of 14% compares with 14.7% a year earlier, and sits alongside half year net income of C¥31.88 million on C¥203.44 million of revenue in 1H 2025 and C¥14.37 million on C¥205.49 million in 2H 2024, highlighting that profitability has stayed in a similar band even as profit and revenue shifted between periods.
• Critics who focus on margin pressure get some support but also some pushback from the numbers, because:
  • The small move from a 14.7% to 14% net margin shows a slight step down in profitability, which fits a cautious view that profitability is not expanding, even while earnings are higher in absolute terms.
  • At the same time, the fact that net margin remains close to the prior level, alongside a trailing net income of C¥61.72 million, challenges a bearish idea that profitability is weakening sharply.

P/E of 17.7x and share volatility frame expectations

• The shares trade on a trailing P/E of 17.7x at a price of C¥0.238, compared with a peer average of 11.1x and an Asian Diversified Financial industry average of 15.6x, while the stock has also shown higher price volatility than the Hong Kong market over the past three months.
• Bears who argue the stock is priced richly relative to its group find clear backing here, but the figures also show why the market might still be willing to pay up:
  • The premium to both peers and the broader industry on a P/E basis lines up with concerns that valuation leaves less room for disappointment, especially when set against recent share price volatility.
  • However, putting that P/E against 55.7% trailing earnings growth and a five year earnings growth rate of 51.9% per year helps explain why some investors may still tolerate a higher multiple despite the more volatile trading pattern.
