TTM profits near C¥4.0b on 22% margin

• Over the last 12 months, net income excluding extra items reached C¥3.97b on revenue of C¥18.02b, giving a 22% net margin compared with 21.3% in the prior year.
• What stands out for a bullish view is that this level of profitability sits on top of five year earnings growth of 24.8% a year and 9.4% growth in the last year. Investors who focus on consistent profit generation may see the 22% margin as a key support for that thesis.
  • High described earnings quality together with C¥3.97b of trailing net income can be used to back up the idea that reported profits are not just a one off.
  • At the same time, the recent 9.4% earnings growth rate is lower than the five year average, which gives bulls a data point to watch rather than a clear acceleration story.

Semi annual EPS bumps around underlying TTM trend

• Across the last three half year periods, basic EPS moved from C¥0.83 in 1H 2024 to C¥0.75 in 2H 2024 and then to C¥0.89 in 1H 2025, while trailing twelve month EPS rose from C¥1.59 in 2H 2024 to C¥1.74 by 2H 2025.
• Consistent with a more cautious or bearish angle, these semi annual shifts can be read as a reminder that short term EPS can move around even as the trailing line trends upward. Anyone expecting a straight line based only on the 24.8% five year earnings growth rate will need to reconcile that with the more modest 9.4% one year growth and the 10.4% earnings growth forecast cited in the data.
  • The step up in trailing EPS from C¥1.59 to C¥1.74 shows progress, yet the forecast 10.4% earnings growth and 7.5% revenue growth figures are below the Hong Kong market averages given, which is a different backdrop than the higher five year growth figure might suggest.
  • Revenue in each half year, at C¥8.00b in 1H 2024, C¥9.09b in 2H 2024 and C¥8.52b in 1H 2025, also reminds investors that individual periods can fluctuate around the broader trailing trend rather than move in a straight line.

P/E premium meets DCF fair value gap

• The shares trade on a P/E of 23.8x compared with 21.6x for peers and 11.3x for the Hong Kong real estate industry, while the C¥47.04 share price sits about 9.3% below a C¥51.87 DCF fair value estimate and below the C¥51.17 analyst target provided.
• Critics who focus on valuation point to the premium P/E as a potential pressure point if growth slows, yet the data also show both a DCF fair value and an analyst target above the current price. The tension for a bearish case is that high current multiples are set against valuation references that are higher than where the stock trades today.
  • The roughly 9.3% gap between C¥47.04 and the C¥51.87 DCF fair value sits alongside an industry level P/E of 11.3x, which means the company is both cheaper than that modelled fair value and pricier than many real estate names on earnings multiples.
  • The mention of an unstable dividend track record adds another angle for anyone taking a cautious view, as it sits alongside the premium P/E and could be weighed against the high 22% margin when deciding how comfortable they are with the current pricing.
