HK$179.0 million net income over 12 months

• On a trailing 12 month basis, net income (excluding extra items) stands at HK$179.0 million on HK$89.7 million of revenue, after reporting losses of HK$194.5 million on HK$18.8 million negative revenue in the prior trailing period.
• What stands out for a more bullish reading is that this shift to HK$179.0 million of earnings is described as high quality. However, it sits alongside a five year earnings trend of a 13.9% per year contraction, so anyone leaning positive has to reconcile this strong recent profitability with a weaker longer term record.

Short term profit vs 5 year decline

• Across the last five years, average earnings growth is shown as a 13.9% per year decline, even though the latest trailing 12 month period is profitable with HK$179.0 million of net income, so the recent turnaround is set against a longer stretch of weaker results.
• Bears point out that a single profitable year does not erase the 13.9% per year earnings contraction, and they may look at the swing from a HK$194.5 million trailing loss to HK$179.0 million of trailing profit and question how repeatable this gap is, especially when the business has previously posted losses such as HK$111.7 million and HK$82.8 million in the two halves of FY 2024.

P/E of 65.5x at HK$1.69 share price

• With the share price at HK$1.69, the trailing P/E ratio sits at 65.5x, which is higher than both the 14.8x peer average and the 12x Asian Consumer Finance industry average.
• Critics highlight that such a premium multiple of 65.5x compared with 14.8x for peers and 12x for the industry requires careful checking against the earnings track record, because the market is paying far more per dollar of the HK$179.0 million trailing profit than it is for other consumer finance names that have not shown a 13.9% per year earnings decline over five years.
